《That’s the Way I Always Heard It Should Be》歌词

[00:00:01] My father sits at night with no lights on

[00:00:08] His cigarette glows in the dark

[00:00:15] The living room is still

[00:00:18] I walk by no remark

[00:00:28] I tiptoe past the master bedroom where

[00:00:35] My mother reads her magazines

[00:00:42] I hear her call sweet dreams

[00:00:45] But I forgot how to dream

[00:00:56] But you say it's time we moved in together

[00:01:02] And raised a family of our own you and me

[00:01:09] Well that's the way

[00:01:10] I've always heard it should be:

[00:01:13] You want to marry me we'll marry

[00:01:23] My friends from college

[00:01:25] They're all married now

[00:01:30] They have their houses and their lawns

[00:01:37] They have their silent noons

[00:01:39] Tearful nights angry dawns

[00:01:50] Their children hate them

[00:01:52] For the things they're not

[00:01:57] They hate themselves for what they are

[00:02:04] And yet they drink they laugh

[00:02:07] Close the wound hide the scar

[00:02:19] But you say it's time we moved in together

[00:02:25] Raised a family of our own you and me

[00:02:31] Well that's the way

[00:02:33] I've always heard it should be:

[00:02:36] You want to marry me we'll marry

[00:02:46] You say that we can keep our love alive

[00:02:53] Babe all I know is what I see

[00:03:00] The couples cling and claw

[00:03:02] And drown in love's debris

[00:03:13] You say we'll soar like

[00:03:15] Two birds through the clouds

[00:03:20] But soon you'll cage me on your shelf

[00:03:27] I'll never learn to be just me first

[00:03:32] By myself

[00:03:42] Well O K it's time we moved in together

[00:03:47] Raised a family of our own you and me

[00:03:54] Well that's the way

[00:03:55] I've always heard it should be

[00:03:59] You want to marry me we'll marry

[00:04:10] That's the Way I Always Heard It Should Be - 天国的阶梯
