about

This one's pretty self-explanatory, we'll see what happens! Eric Novak plays lead guitar.

lyrics

Maybe you and I should have a kid
I hear there’s no right time to have a kid
But we’ve been married like forever
And we’re so good at doing stuff together
So maybe we should try to have a kid

Maybe Jen would help us raise a kid
I think it could be really awesome if they were into it
It’s corny but we won’t have to fake it
Cuz a family can be whatever you make it
There’s so many wonderful ways that we could live

I love our life and don’t want things to change
Think of all the things we’d have to rearrange
We’d neglect our friendships and have less patience
And we’d need to find a new apartment
Still I kinda wanna meet the person we could raise

The world’s a scary place to have a kid
It honestly seems like a curse to bring somebody into it
There’s so many ways to fuck up their life
And you can’t protect them no matter how hard you try
But maybe somedays they’d be kinda glad to be alive

I know it might not work out to have a kid
Or something unfathomably terrible could happen even if we did
But if the whole world does betray us
And we descend into painful chaos
There’s still nobody that I’d rather be with

I’m still genuinely torn on whether I think we should have a kid
And from what I can tell you seem equally indecisive
Maybe we should flip a coin or something
Or let’s just do it why the hell not or something
Either way I know we’ll love the life we live.
