And you were there
Dried flowers in your hair
Tripped up the attic stairs
"It's way too cold in Canada, Lord, get me outta here"
Then you fall into my bed
Raining petals from your head
Calculating train times
Dreaming of the bread
"I know", I say "You'd go if I stay
But we can't afford the plane
Is staying in okay?"
This could be our holiday
You and me on holiday
This could be our holiday
You and me on holiday
So pack your things
Your favourite summer dress
Your necklaces and rings
Just leave the place a mess
Don't pick up anything
We'll camp out in the living room
We'll sleep under the stairs
We'll waste away the afternoon in artificial air
"I know", I'll say
"it's just not the same thing
But I'm trying hard to save
Be patient, just you wait"
This could be our holiday
You and me on holiday
This could be our holiday
You and me on holiday
So let's get to dreaming, baby
Close your eyes, c'mon let's go
We could see Oklahoma
Or meet me in San Francisco
You've got an emergency bag
Thinking ahead doesn't bother me
Ready to drop everything
If we ever hit the lottery
I know you'd be happy to be
Anywhere but here this time next year
If we're still standing we'll be
Barefoot in the sand by new years
This could be our holiday
You and me on holiday
This could be our holiday
You and me on holiday
