Two Weeks Somewhere Warm

Verse 1

Morning light through the hallway crack

I heard their voices low

Crept on down the wooden stairs

Hair still in a mess

Pre-Chorus

Dad was pouring coffee

Mom was tracing maps

I stood there in my pajama shirt

And asked what was happening

Chorus

They said it's our anniversary trip

Two weeks somewhere warm

I asked can me and sis come along

They said not this time around

Well then what am I supposed to do

They said look after her we'll be back soon

Verse 2

I watched them pack the old blue car

Sis was crying at the door

Dad ruffled my hair and smiled

Said be good while we're gone

Pre-Chorus

I waved until the dust went still

Stood there counting clouds

Should have grabbed their hands right then

Should have pulled them back somehow

Chorus

They said it's our anniversary trip

Two weeks somewhere warm

I asked can me and sis come along

They said not this time around

Well then what am I supposed to do

They said look after her we'll be back soon

Bridge

Years have passed and the porch light stays on

Sis grew tall and so did I

Some nights I still walk those stairs

And hear their voices low

Wishing I had hugged them tight

Before they let me go

Chorus

They said it's our anniversary trip

Two weeks somewhere warm

I asked can me and sis come along

They said not this time around

Well then what am I supposed to do

They said look after her we'll be back soon
