Homemaker Lyrics by Jill Barber

Homemaker

2023

[Verse 1]
Dishes won't do themselves
Dust upon the shelves
And time's impossible to find
Is anybody gonna help
Tidy up these toys
Or the clutter in my mind?

[Refrain]
If all you wanna do is run
I won't tell anyone
You're a secret fantasy
If all you wanna is cry
I won't even ask why
I'll just hold the box of tissues for you
Homemaker, it's okay
If today, the only thing you make
Is you make it through the day

[Verse 2]
A couple of kids to raise
And never get any praise
Just a sideways glance
I might've screwed it up today
I didn't mean for it to go that way
Another day's another chance

[Refrain]
If all you wanna do is hide
And lock yourself inside
The bathroom, I will guard you
Protect and misdirect
The ones out searching for you
Just until you catch your breath
Homemaker, it's okay
If today, the only thing you make
Is you make it through the day

[Bridge]
Butterfly kisses and eyelash wishes
I know they say it goes so fast
Well, they say "Enjoy it well, it lasts"
But homemaker, it's okay
If today, the only thing you make
If today, the only thing you make
Is you make it through the day

[Outro]
Dishes won't do themselves
Dust upon the shelves
And time's impossible to find
