Trading Places Lyrics by Matt Roome

Earth Tones Pt. II

2023

[Verse]
You tune the radio, I jump up from my seat
As we dance around the table
Where we just don't care to eat
Oh, ain't this just what we've been waiting for?
It's time to take your roll
It's doubles, fours, and threes
Talking loud enough to hear the jokes
That make us show our teeth
Oh, ain't this just what we've been waiting for?
[Chorus]
I don't know why I make it so impossible
To get to you on time
Resting my eyes until the final minute
Wasting time, I'll tighten up my shoes
[Bridge]
I'm in no rush
To get to be where I will sleep tonight
Why would I sit down when I could fly?
[Verse]
Trading places with the sun
When it wakes up, we go to sleep
Oh am I ever gonna leave enough time
To do what I had thought today I'd do
Well I'll just wait some more
Well for now I'll charge the radio
And find something to eat
Reminisce on all the jokes
That made us both spit out our drinks
And I'll miss this night
But I know just what I'm waiting for
[Chorus]
I don't know why I make it so impossible
To get to you on time
Resting my eyes until the final minute
Wasting time, I'll tighten up my shoes
