Devon Halliday - What's in Store

One time you asked me what was in store for us
So I went to the very back shelves
Yeah I went down that painted aisle
And the rows and boxes were labeled all in line
And I said: "none of this is on our grocery list
I don't see your new job, I don't see your new car
Don't know what this is, but it's not who we are or who we will be
Also, everything is gluten free"

You said, "Just get something we need
Something good, something cheap
Bring it to me, I'll make it work
You know, I don't need much just as long as you bring something home"

So I put our futures in a shopping cart
With those bar codes gleaming back like the imprint of a heart
And I tried to find a quickly moving line
But "may I help you" just meant maybe help yourself
I scanned them one by one, the price was $40.07
And thank god, cuz that's all I had with me

You said, "Just get something we need
Something good, something cheap
Bring it to me, I'll make it work
You know, I don't need much just as long as you bring something home"

And you helped me carry them into the apartment
I said, "Sorry I shoulda got more
When I was a kid I always went to this store
And I remember that the cart was always full"
You said, "We were hungrier then, we were younger
But now we have what we need
It's all right and it's cheap
Listen to me: we'll make it work
You know, I don't need much just as long as you keep coming home"
