Like a kick to the guts
With the house on fire
Been six or seven months
Since the rent was on time
But we smile
We smile and we wave
We smile as we wave goodbye
Someday it will all wash away
Dad fixed it at work
While the lunch-line drools
Salt strip the paint
From racing beach-side roads
But we smile
We smile and we wave
We smile and we wave goodbye
'Cause someday it will all wash away
At night when you take my hand
Pull me closer to you in our old bed
I feel that aching in my bones
But I'm never scared
We lie
We lie and we say
We lie and we say we're fine
And someday, it'll all wash away
Someday
It'll all wash away
