about

A celebration of taking a day off with the one you love.

lyrics

I love tripping over mason jars
and not getting into the laundry
to wash clothes.
Now I don't have anything to wear

I love to hear snoring so
I slept in this morning
now I don't have time
to save my hair

So why don't we just stay inside?
We can call in sick or even say we've died.
I've never felt more alive
than when I'm wasting my days away
and wasting my time
I've never felt more alive

I think we should lock the doors
and close the windows.
I think we should try that new position that we saw
in that movie, in that movie.

I know we are wasting opportunities
to take care of our responsibilities
but I am not responsible and
I don't really care.

We are staying in today
because we really want to stay.
We can both come out to play
some other day
