Lyrics: National, The. Slipping Husband.

:
sit down dear we gotta talk

your acting like a kid

we don't wanna hear about

the things you never did



you coulda been a legend

but you became a father

that's what you are today

that's what you are today



spending all your time

somewhere inside your head

haunted by the important

life you coulda lead



but your kisses aren't enough

to keep your kids in line

so you better straighten out yourself

and give your baby time

cause if you don't give her what she needs

she'll get it where she can

she's lonely man



Don't leave yourself alone for too many days

Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping



you'll end up talking to the ghost

of your wife as if you knew her

your eyes will put her everywhere



and spending all your time

somewhere inside your head

haunted by the important

life you coulda lead



you'll fuck yourself to clear your head

you'll close your door and go to bed

you'll try to sleep without a dream

that's where she finds you

that's where she finds you



Don't leave yourself alone for too many days

Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping



Dear we better get a drink in you

before you start to bore us

Dear we better get a drink in you

before you start to bore us

Dear we better get a drink in you

before you start to bore us
