When our house falls and my stories don't light you up When the simple sight of each other's not good enough It's a new kind of love, not one I ever want When we go out but we're dressing in the same room And we dance a little faster than we used to It's a new kind of love, not one I ever want So tell me how did Mom and Dad do it Tell me why there's so much to it Maybe all said and done I shouldn't be with anyone So tell me how does anyone do it Tell me how I'm gonna get through it Maybe all said and done I shouldn't be with anyone Your scrapbook of our life has seen a writers block Used to stick at it for hours till your hands came off My hand placed on your thigh, as you drove through the night All the effort in the world for your birthday gift Now I'm asking what you want so I can save the risk It's a new kind of life, not the one that we'd like So tell me how did Mom and Dad do it Tell me why there's so much to it Maybe all said and done I shouldn't be with anyone So tell me how does anyone do it Tell me how I'm gonna get through it Maybe all said and done I shouldn't be with anyone I can't be content, always faking it I keep changing every minute to whatever fits On the painful road to happiness Take the girl the house and trade them for a strangers kiss So tell me how did Mom and Dad do it Tell me why there's so much to it Maybe all said and done I shouldn't be with anyone So tell me how does anyone do it Tell me how I'm gonna get through it Maybe all said and done I shouldn't be with anyone
