Rock Upon A Porch With You lyrics
I can keep canaries and
cook on a camper stove
eat baked beans with a spoon
and smell of ginger beer

I can potter into town
and pick up your prescriptions
and if you re ever sad I ll pull
potatoes from your ears
potatoes from your ears

Someday when I m older I will
Rock upon a porch with you
Rock upon a porch with you
Remembering the stupid things
we did when we were young
A hard boiled egg and soldiers in a
cafe with an ocean view
sitting silently across from you
sipping strawberry daiquiris and
twiddling our thumbs
till we grow old

I just want to quietly
collect up my cavalry
Curl up into a little ball
and plot my revenge

and it might sound stupid but
the saddest thing about growing up
is that I will never think
I m spiderman again
I m spiderman again

Someday when I m older I will
Rock upon a porch with you
Rock upon a porch with you
Remembering when I was young
and I still had my own teeth
and it s sad to think that
there might still be
dreams of ours that won t come true
they probably never will come true
and we ll regret the things we didn t do
and suck on travel sweets till we grow old

Someday when I m older I will
Rock upon a porch with you
Rock upon a porch with you
Remembering the price of Polos
and the books we used to read
cause somehow after everything and
everyone that we ve been through
I m kind of looking forward to
rocking back and forth with you
on the front steps of our sweet retirement home
