Ani for the day

You Had Time

How can I go home, with nothing to say?
I know you’re going to look at me that way.
And say, “What did you do out there?

What did you decide?
You said you needed time and you had time.”

You are a china shop, and I am a bull.
You are really good food, and I am full.
I guess everything is timing.

I guess everything's been said.
So, I am coming home with an empty head.

You’ll say, “Did they love you or what?”
I’ll say, “They love what I do.
The only one who really loves me is you.”
And you’ll say, “Girl did you kick some butt?”
And I’ll say, “I don’t really remember.
But my fingers are sore and my voice is too.”

You’ll say, “It’s really good to see you.”
You’ll say, “I missed you horribly.”
You’ll say, “Let me carry a bag, give that to me.”
And you will take the heavy stuff.

And you will drive the car.
And I’ll look out the window and make jokes.
About the way things are.

How can I go home, with nothing to say?
I know you’re going to look at me that way.
And say, “What did you do out there?

What did you decide?
You said you needed time and you had time.”
You haaad time, you haaad time, you haaad time,

You had time.
