Checking Out
» Verse 1 «
Bobby works on weekendsAnd he's got a good head
But he never keeps his promises and
I'm getting pretty tired of staying up
In the middle of the night
I smell the guilt on him as he
Smothers me with buffers and
His winter coat that he just won't take off
I smell the guilt on him as he
Smothers me with buffers and
His winter coat that he just won't take off
» Verse 2 «
"Bobby where are you going offGot work first thing in the morning?"
But he didn't bother answering
Just turned and headed for the door
Under my bed
I keep the steak knife
These kids broke in six months ago
I guess it madе me feel a little bold
I keep the steak knife
These kids broke in six months ago
I guess it madе me feel a little bold
» Pre-Chorus «
Your leavingMadе me so uneasy
» Chorus «
I should learn to love myself without reason or a doubtAnd he's always coming in as I'm checking out
» Verse 3 «
I didn't do it gentlyLord knows the man is heavy
But I think I hit an artery
So he never came to get me
Watching him slouch? Slow?
??????????????
So I saw down and watched TV
As you finished ruining my mother's carpet
"Bobby Look!" (Bobby Look! BOBBY LOOK!)
It's the show we liked
When you stopped coming home on weekdays
And I sat and longed for you every night
??????????????
So I saw down and watched TV

» Pre-Chorus «
Oh babyI see ???????
» Chorus «
That I should learn to love myself without reason or a doubtAnd he's always coming in as I'm checking out
Oh I should learn to love myself without reason or a doubt
And he's always coming in as I'm checking out
And he's always coming in as I'm checking out
And he's always coming in as I'm checking out
[Outro] x3.5
There's nothing but the rain
To wash the blood away
And all those old mistakes
May they depart with you today
There's nothing but the rain
To wash the blood away
And all those old mistakes
May they depart with you today
