about

An ode to the unhappy housewife

lyrics

In a place I thought I could call home
All I think about are places I could go
And my wanderin' mind is not at ease
'Til I'm headed down a road I've never seen

You believe in a god you cannot see
But I'm sitting right here and you can't believe in me
So I'll sleep in the bed that I have made
To avoid what anyone might say

How can i stop time to be
Mother, daughter, wife, and me

Your life is sand in a glass
You chose to wear the gown
Now it's his name that is last

How can I expect to be
Mother, daughter, wife, and me

Run, run away, run away from your past
Find all the people and places that last
Don't let the neighbors who keep perfect homes
Fill up your head, cuz they're just as alone

Run run away, run run away
Run run away, run run away

Spending my life keeping your house clean
Don't be afraid when I set myself free

Run run away, run run away
Run run away, run run away
Run run away, run run away
Run run away, run run away
