When I was young, I watched my father step into his business suit
To collect his nine-to-five and his hour long commute
I shrug it on my shoulders and I know I look the part
But now it’s frayed along the inside. Will someone just give me a start
I walked away, my hands still warm from a congratulatory shake
They say can you start on Monday, guess I finally got my break
I walked away still smiling in the corner of my eye
It’s just like you always told me, you can make it if you try
I will buy you blue skies to backdrop your wedding day
You will have my free time for a long afternoon away
And we are gonna be okay
The ring’s in my pocket, and I’m ready to propose
But you know things have just been busy. I’ve been staying after close
And you were there when I had nothing, and all our time was free
Now I know that I can treat you well if you just wait for me
If you just wait for me
If you just wait for me
I will buy you blue skies to backdrop your wedding day
You will have my free time for a long afternoon away
And we are gonna be okay
We are gonna be
We are gonna be okay
We are gonna be
We are gonna be okay
