Shirt & Tie Lyrics by Paper Lions

Stay Together

2019

[Chorus]
I want to wear a shirt and tie for the rest of my life
Live that typical life
If I could name my selling price, sell quickly, I'd sell my life
For a typical life
[Verse 1]
Could the best kind of life be a 9 to 5 for me
My life's a mess, I think a little structure is what I need
The perks, the benefits, and routine, all that security
I like cake and there's birthday celebrations three times a week
[Chorus]
I want to wear a shirt and tie for the rest of my life
Live that typical life
If I could name my selling price, sell quickly, I'd sell my life
For a typical life
[Verse 2]
I know the best kind of life is a 9 to 5 for me
In my desk, having a cordial conversation with a colleague
"Did you watch the game, did you clean out the racks in the attic of all the stuff that you can barely look at?"
Driving home, stuck in traffic and I laugh, this is heavenly
[Chorus]
I want to wear a shirt and tie for the rest of my life
Live that typical life
If I could name my selling price, sell quickly, I'd sell my life
For a typical life
[Chorus]
I want to wear a shirt and tie for the rest of my life
Live that typical life
If I could name my selling price, sell quickly, I'd sell my life
For a typical life
I want to wear a shirt and tie for the rest of my life
Live that typical life
If I could name my selling price, sell quickly, I'd sell my life
For a typical life
[Outro]
Live that typical life
Live that typical life
