Dog days of summer
Heat haze and bad temper
And whole days of shouting

"Would you listen to me?"

See, I'm the one in charge now

What happened to me?
I turned into someone's mother


Really someone should give me a uniform
Or someone should show me where is the door
Or someone should come around and explain

How it is that love forgets to speak it's name

And then you turn on the news

And it's somebody else's news
And it's always such bad news
And I'm no good with sad news anymore

Gets me running upstairs
To count heads in tangled beds


And someone tears up that uniform
And somewhere gently closes a door
And I'm right here once more

Crying, confessing, counting my blessings

Don't let go

Cause we'll never know
That even when the sky is clear
And the moon looks really close

Well it's nowhere near
