So picture this
He reads the paper
She sets the table
The evening sun begins to cast their shadows long
Well how cinematic
Two weary actors
Are trodding out their lines of well worn dialogue
And this is how every day has been
This is how everyday will be for them
A porcelain love just like their China dolls
With tight lipped smiles and backs against the wall
And like the glass case that they keep them in
It's all just one good push from shattering
I've been thinking dear
Could you see us there
Maybe not quite yet
Give it fifteen years
I guess we'll find out then
Where else would we go
Way to scared to go back thinking on my own
So I'll quit college
Let's settle in
Gee it sounds a lot like what our parents did
And this is how every day has been
This is how everyday will be for them
A porcelain love just like their China dolls
With tight lipped smiles and backs against the wall
And like the glass case that they keep them in
It's all just one good push from shattering
Got to asking you
Do you feel it too
Now we're packing up
I love you and good bye
