Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here's a little thing I'd like to share
For those of us who've been bustin' their derriere
They got the nerve to tell us we should take good care
But that just means spend a hundred dollars on a spa
What's this about?
[Verse 2]
Yesterday the train was running late
I took the 6, I ended up on 28th
I got to work, my boss was being so irate
I hate it 'cause life's a game of hurry up and wait
[Chorus]
So when we come home from a long week
Turn the TV on
Sit down, we don't need to speak
Though I want you so bad, I need to confess
Sometimes rest can be better than
Rest can be better than
Came home from a long week
Put a movie on
Lay down, we don't need to speak
Though I want you so bad, I need to confess
Sometimes rest can be better than
Rest can be better than sex
[Verse 3]
I've still got couple more concerns
My girl's been dropping hints about a brand new purse
My grandma called, she said she needs a different nurse
I swear to God, late stage capitalism is a curse
[Verse 4]
See, we've been running and moving around
Still turn around and we're broke
Putting hours in by the thousands
Like what is this, a joke?
They've got W1's and W9's and W6 and 4's
What the difference is, who knows?
We're exhausted and it shows
[Chorus]
So when we come home from a long week
Turn the TV on
Sit down, we don't need to speak
Though I want you so bad, I need to confess
Sometimes rest can be better than
Rest can be better than
Came home from a long week
Put a movie on
Lay down, we don't need to speak
Though I want you so bad, I need to confess
Sometimes rest can be better than
Rest can be better than sex
[Bridge]
Now we've been together for the good, the bad
The ups and downs of a relationship
And you best believe, I've still got tricks up my sleeve
I want to show you every chance I get
But tonight's an exception
And I hope I don't let you down
If I happen to suggest
That it's no less romantic if we both catch our breath
'Cause some rest can be better than
Rest can be better than
