Details below lyrics There's a bun in the oven A toddler playing in the hall We've got burgers and dogs on the grill Family portrait on the wall You'd think our lives were picture perfect We wave to the neighbors When we're working in the yard Talk about last night's game As we're hosing off the car You'd think our lives were picture perfect It's all props and backdrops A carefully crafted lie So please don't look too close Expose to too much light This picture perfect life Our friends like to kid us That we never seem to fight Somehow it's so much worse To roll apart at night You'd think our lives were picture perfect It's all props and backdrops A carefully crafted lie So please don't look too close Expose to too much light This picture perfect life Sometimes I awake to find you in my arms By morning it seems It must have been a dream It's all props and backdrops A carefully crafted lie So please don't look too close Expose to too much light This picture perfect life There's a bun in the oven Family portrait on the wall...... ------------------------------------------ This song had its genesis in a songwriting prompt over on muses muse; to write something with a major key verse and a minor key chorus. I couldn't quite pull it off, but I did switch from F major to C major! ;-) Many feel that it is too depressing, but that's just how I roll. It's also a little sparse for me, but for some reason that's where I've been happiest lately. Just a couple acoustic tracks and a couple harmonies. I don't know if I'm getting worn down by those mega-projects or if I just want to see if I can still write a compelling tune without all the bells and whistles. Thanks for listening, I hope you and yours are well. Soundcloud link: https://soundcloud.com/justin-osowiecki-music Justin
