No, I haven't seen your grill brush, maurey
Ah, yeah, I used it to brush my hair this morning, can't you tell? Ugh
Oh, don't leave me out here with the meat, maurey
Medium wha—, how can something be medium and well, maurey?
Ugh, maurey

I turned forty today
To me

Saturday we installed a new bay window
And it was something right out of a dream I never had
Saturday belongs to soccer practice
I pack their little cakes for after the games they never win

And life is full of all of the trappings of the well-to-do
And life goes on as I shop for shutters to obstruct the view
And life is fine, if only it were mine

But just for once, I'd be the center of attention
Just for once, remember what a life can be
Just for once, I feel the light inside, the burning of a candle
Living just for once
Living just for

Thirty-nine, I lose my hair under careful chemo treatment
And I was not unhappy about the attention I ensnared
Judge me

It fucking worked, I'm fucking here, he's fucking her, I'm disappointed
There's still carpet in the bathroom
And of the two, who's the worse for wear?
Me

We love our dogs, especially captain
He's a bullshit mix
The pool is out, the neighbors come rushing
Maury prefers their kids
And the world's a stage when you're middle of age

But just for once, my life could be just what I wanted
Just for once, I'd feel the spark that I once knew
Just for once, I'd feel the fight inside, the burning of a candle
Something more than I can handle
Just for once
Should flip the burgers now?
Should I double check it's well done on the outside, not within?
Oh
Should I let the coals burn out?
Should I let the years cook my body down in front of him?
Oh-oh
Just for once, just for once, just for once

The other day the johnsons borrowed my tap shoes
Their eldest daughter is beginning tap
It was no bother, I never ever use them
I used to dance
I used to dance

Ugh, I found your grill brush, maurey
It was right here, all along
