I want a house with a white picket fence
You want a room with a view
I want a car and to live by my friends
You want a big new tattoo
So where do we meet in the middle
How do we best compromise
If I give myself what you wouldn't
Would that end our life
I want the hedge that I grew for myself
I deserve just as much
But you should fulfill all of your lucid dreams
I owe you that, my love
So where do we meet in the middle
How do we best compromise
If I give myself what you wouldn't
Would that end our life
So you'll buy the ticket
I'll buy the house
Won't mention the mortgage
So you don't shut me out
I'll say that I miss you
You'll say you do too
I'll hope you'll forgive me
When I pause to ask you
Where do we meet in the middle
How do we best compromise
If I give myself what you wouldn't
Would that end our life
I got a house with a white picket fence
You got a room with a view
