His Side of the Receipt

We wanted a porch To sit in So we bought one We wanted a dog To love So we brought one We wanted a car So we bought one We wanted a garage So we got one We wanted a kid To raise So we made one We wanted a life To live So we paid one We wanted a house To own So we built one And when it was done We killed one Of the reasons To stay For a night But I left in the morning With my coffee and my bike I wanted to fight But I wanted to fight For the side I believed in His side of the receipt says milk Mine says batteries and blame We bought everything for leaving And forgot to buy a name For the thing that keeps us standing In this checkout light again And again And again We wanted to last But you knew that So you said it We wanted to go fast But we slowed down And we dreaded it We wanted to wait For a sign But we read it We wanted to stay For a night But I left in the morning With my coffee and my bike I wanted to fight But I wanted to fight For the side I believed in His side of the receipt says milk Mine says batteries and blame We bought everything for leaving And forgot to buy a name For the thing that keeps us standing In this checkout light again And again And again
