The Birdwatchers - A Brief Moment of Peace Lyrics

Make plans with family, your excitement is shared
Move back to Michigan provided you're prepared
To brave the cold
Wait for the call, but you're never gonna get it

Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home

"I liked your first album just fine
Back when you were just starting out"
It's just a product of the times
But I can't promise you more fun
It's getting hard to write a narrative
That pleases everyone

Watching playoffs hockey on illegal streams
It's much less stressful in the basement as a young rebuilding team
Quick quips about your crops affected by the cold
"Alchemically brewed up ales" - smug satisfaction, you've struck comedy gold

"I liked your first album just fine
Back when you were just starting out"
It's just a product of the times
But I can't promise you more fun
It's gotten hard to write a narrative
That pleases everyone
Life's so exhausting
Left feeling forced just to wake up before noon
"Show's over," the singer shouts
And the venue finally clears as the band played us out

Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Come on home
And then the band played us out

Just doing all the little things
Just doing all the little things right
That's what it's all about
Just try to get some sleep tonight

So keep doing all the little things
Consider all the little things
I kept doing all the little things, what more do you want
