Ideal World

Andrea Corr - 《Ten Feet High》

Jeanie marries when she's 21

She has a baby one year on

And every year that's the way that life goes

Lost herself in domesticity

A cleaning feeding entity

She can't recall what she was before

In an ideal world kids would keep their rooms tidy

In an ideal world he'd be home from his work on time

And in the morning I could lie in

Johnny signs his share of autographs

For all the people he makes laugh

And he walks home to an empty flat

Does his best to fight the silence

Late night TV vicodens

He can't forget what he had before

In an ideal world she would still think I'm funny

In an ideal world she'd be waiting in bed for me

And in the morning we could lie in

In an ideal world

Molly's sitting in a waiting room

The top doctor will see her soon

In the body nature gave her

Worried if she'll ever wake up

Wondering if she's better off

Why can't she be what she was before?

In an ideal world he would still think I'm pretty

In an ideal world he would only want bed with me

And in the morning we could lie in

In an ideal world you would make a decision

In an ideal world you'd be making a home for me

And in the morning we could lie in

Sunday mornings we could lie in
