lyrics

Chorus

In the meantime baby
I will home you, and unclothe you
In the meantime baby be mine
When she comes back baby
To collect you, I won’t haunt you
In then out of my life
(In the meantime
In then out of my life) x2

Verse 1

Condo in Toronto and a cotty by the lake
You’re not that much older, but I swear you got it made
I want all the roses left to die outside your door
And the diamond in your pocket, who could ever ask for more?

Pre-Chorus 1

I picture you in college, saw her at a party
Love and lemons head to toe, with her nose up at Bacardi
Said “let’s ditch this scene and sneak in to Louix Louis”
Could have really held her down if she wasn’t such a beauty

Chorus

Verse 2

God you’re so romantic, kept her broken champagne glass
Know you wanna call her but she’s somewhere shakin’ ass
Try on all her dresses just to get you in the mood
& I wonder what I look like packing up and leaving you...

Pre-Chorus 2

Quiet and we’re rolling!
I set this thing in Dublin,
Working on a novel that I’m never getting published
Suffer for my art I’m not in it for the money
Yeah I know I’m coming back like I’m ever going hungry

Chorus

Outro

I will home you and unclothe you
In the meantime baby be mine
When she comes back baby
To collect you I won’t haunt you
