Rick Fewmore - Planning on It Lyrics

Ticktock on a tin clock
As a story unfolds
My stomach sinks down to my feet
A cafe is the backdrop
The room that you chose
To lay the curtain down on me

The cloak and the dagger
You already hold
Go ahead and cut me at the seams
You say it's not easy
To tailor into words
But you already wear it on your sleeve

I bet you were planning on it
Running through the scenarios
Inside of your head
Over and over again
I bet you were planning on it

Planning on it

Hopscotch on a blacktop
With our three little girls
I could see it all vividly
We'd grow old at our tempo
Keep the rhythm nice and simple
And the others would follow our beat

I was really planning on it
Reciting a little fairy tale
Inside of my head
Over and over again
I was really planning on it

I didn't see this coming
I had it all laid out
We'd outlive earth
Always relying on the future
To inflate our raft and current worth
But the days become years
And the hopes become fears
That we were only planning on it

Planning on it

I was really planning on it
I'll try to be the happiest and the best that I can
Tomorrow might be the end
And we're never planning on it
