First Aid Kit - You ' re Not Coming Home Tonight Yeah you cooked his dinnersYou raised his childrenStill he ' s not satisfiedHe says " I ' d rather switch with youYou don ' t know how hard it isTo work from 9 to 5 " But he speaks with his eyes closedAnd even though you ' re not all aloneHe ' s never there to be with youAnd you remember when you were youngWhen life was new and it was funNow every corner ' s filled with dust But you ' re not coming home tonight You just took the trainAnd you left without a waveFigured he ' d never let you leave anywayAnd now you ' re sitting on that trainSeeing life in a new wayAnd every forest sings a song One for the heartbroken loversAnd one for the dreamersAnd then there ' s one just for youThe winds been humming on it all dayAns the soil lies awakeWaiting for it ' s drum solo ' Cause you ' re not coming home tonight The ship is sailingI ' ll meet you on the other sideThe future ' s unclearBut hopefully it will be fine You ' re not coming home tonight
