Doctor

I often say the wrong things when I tell you how I feel

It comes out sounding like a joke or only half sincere

If I try to write a love song, it turns out plain and tried

And so this ain’t a love song, just a letter to my wife

When I wake up I think of you, it’s always something different

Why can’t she let me sleep for once, or oh she burned the bacon

Oh no I didn’t clean last night, or I should let her sleep

But mostly it’s some way of saying thank god she’s next to me

I know that that sounds too sappy, I’ll try to lighten it up

Sometimes I get up early cause your snoring woke me up

Sometimes it hard to sleep because you talk in a foreign language

When I ask you to clarify, you usually can’t manage

But sleep talk’s a laughable price

For waking up the rest of my life

To burned bacon, baby cries

And best of all, you as my wife

I know I can forget to think, and then say something dumb

If I had to be stuck with me, I’d turn tail and run

I promise to keep trying to stop being such a dick head

If you promise to lay still sometimes and not push me off the bed

Bear with me Doc, and I can be the thoughtful guy you need

A thoughtful guy you don’t deserve but at least he’s sometimes sweet

The smart move’s probably to run away, but you haven’t listened yet

To the voice that’s in your head that says, “Step away from the Dick Head”

Despite all the good reasons to run, I’d love it if you stay

Because I need a wife, who’s easy to beat at video games

And I need a wife who helps me see good on the bad days

Though I wouldn’t mind a wife who cooked chicken all the way

Salmonellas not too steep a price

For having an angel in my life

For raw chicken and baby cries

and best of all, you as my wife

I know I said everything wrong

I’ll try again another song

Eventually I’ll get it right

Just know that you have brought the light

I’ll express the rest some other time
