Yeah you cooked his dinners You raised his children Still he's not satisfied He says "I'd rather switch with you You don't know how hard it is To work from 9 to 5" But he speaks with his eyes closed And even though you're not all alone He's never there to be with you And you remember when you were young When life was new and it was fun Now every corner's filled with dust But you're not coming home tonight You just took the train And you left without a wave Figured he'd never let you leave anyway And now you're sitting on that train Seeing life in a new way And every forest sings a song One for the heartbroken lovers And one for the dreamers And then there's one just for you The winds been humming on it all day Ans the soil lies awake Waiting for it's drum solo 'Cause you're not coming home tonight The ship is sailing I'll meet you on the other side The future's unclear But hopefully it will be fine You're not coming home tonight
