lyrics

'I think it's time,' she says,
'for you to put to rest all the fears in my head.
I'm not getting any younger.
I'm not the kind of girl who's gonna wait here forever.'

'What's the rush?' I say.
'You know how much I love you.
The rest gets in the way.
I don't want to make you wonder.
But everything is sunny.
Why you wanna make it thunder?'

Oh no, I'm not ready
I was finally smooth and steady
Can we wait just a little bit longer?
When I'm more sure and stronger?
None of this is what I planned
Life keeps coming, it's all out of my hands
I think I finally get it
It falls into place if you let it

'I think it's time,' she says.
'Put our money in a house instead of blowing it all on rent.
It'll be an investment.
We'll even have a room to put all our guests in.'

'I don't know,' I say.
'I'm always on the move, I don't if I want to stay.
How about California?
If the acting gets slow never say I didn't warn ya.'

Oh no, I'm not ready
I was finally smooth and steady
Can we wait just a little bit longer?
When I'm more sure and stronger?
None of this is what I planned
Life keeps coming, it's all out of my hands
I think I finally get it
It falls into place if you let it

'I think it's time,' you say.
'My body's getting older, I'm ready for a baby.
Stop the pills I'm taking.
It might not even happen, so quit your bellyaching.'

'Not again,' I say.
'I'm barely treading water.
A kid'll just add more weight.'
But you always convince me.
I'm really glad you do
No matter what I say
Or else I'd never change

Oh no, I'm not ready
I was finally smooth and steady
Can we wait just a little bit longer?
When I'm more sure and stronger?
None of this is what I planned
Life keeps coming, it's all out of my hands
I think I finally get it
It falls into place if you let it

It falls into place if you let it
