about

This song is about a conversation that I've had with Lori almost everytime she had to get out of bed before me to go to work. I almost never failed to try and convince her to call in sick or stay a while longer. I almost never succeeded.

Words and Music by Tom Keating

You’ve Got your Reasons

You’ve got your reasons for needing to go
People and Places, Baby I know
Just give me five minutes more and you’ll see
You should just stay here with me

Think of the foam that gave up his memory
So we could enjoy this mattress we’re on
And all the geese that now fly around naked
So we could stay warm in their down
Then there’s the Egyptians that grew all the cotton
That went into making these fancy sheets
That’s just three reasons I have in a hundred
You should just stay here with me

You know it’s cold out there
I’m thinking it might just storm
Why don’t we both just lay right here where its safe and warm?

I’ve got more reasons, my favorite’s nineteen
But we should skip the ones in between
If it takes all morning, I’ll help you see
You should just stay here with me

You know it’s cold out there
I’m thinking it might just storm
Why don’t you just lay here with me and I’ll keep you warm?

I’ll count your buttons, ‘till it makes you smile
You can count mine and after a while
The world and its problems will all go away
And you’ll be so happy you stayed

You know its cold out there
I’m thinking it might just storm
Why don’t you just stay here with me and I’ll keep you warm?
