You could come around once a year Like a Christmas ghost Or hold me down like an anchor, baby But you can't do both I can't be your father figure But I could be your friend Watch me burn my candle crazy At both ends Nothin's gonna change here anytime soon Catchin' fish in the mornin', get drunk before noon Watchin' little brown bubbles floatin' in the spoon Could be soakin' in a warm bath or back in the womb Anytime, anytime soon Used to want to be an astronaut But I was just a kid Spent my days in a batting cage Where a robot pitched Once you were my blushing bride I was your nervous groom But now we're just more comfortable Sleepin' in separate rooms Nothin's gonna change here anytime soon Make a bed for the roses, hope that they bloom I don't know if it's safe, but I just assume I won't play in the majors or walk on the moon Not anytime, anytime soon Spin me a tornado, honey Cry me a monsoon Let's just get through the holidays And the terrible twos Christmas has passed It's just yellow snow Sometimes you gotta hear somethin' That you already know Nothin's gonna change here anytime soon When it's all unpredictible, I can still count on you Lookin' for the mailbox with the red balloons I'll be late to the party, and I have an excuse Cuz no one likes breakin' bad news It's nothin' I'm wantin' to do Not anytime, anytime soon
