Every Other Weekend

 

Every Other Weekend Lyrics

Every other Friday
It`s toys and clothes in backpacks
Is everybody in okay
Let`s go see dad
Same time in the same spot
Corner of the same old parking lot
Half the hugs and kisses there are always sad
We trade a couple words and looks
And kids again
every other weekend

Every other weekend
Very few exceptions
I pick up the love we made in both my arms
It`s movies on the sofa
Grilled cheese and cut the crust off
But "That`s not the way mom makes it, daddy" breaks my heart
I miss everything we used to have with her again
Every other weekend

I can`t tell her I love her
I can`t tell him I love him
Cause there`s too many questions and ears in the car
So, I don`t tell him I miss him
I don`t tell her I need her
She`s over me that`s where we are
He`s over me that`s where we are
We`re as close as we might ever be again
Every other weekend
Every other Saturday
First thing in the morning
I turn the TV on to make the quiet go away
I know why but I don`t know why
We ever let this happen
Fallin` for forever was a big mistake
There`s so much not to do and all day not do it in
Every other weekend

Every other Sunday
I empty out my backseat
While my children hug their mother in the parking lot
We don`t touch; we don`t talk much
Maybe goodbye to each other
as she drives away with every piece of heart I`ve got
I re-convince myself we did the right thing
every other weekend

I can`t tell her I love her
I can`t tell him I love him
Cause there`s too many questions and ears in the car
So, I don`t tell him I miss him
I don`t tell her I need her
She`s over me that`s where we are
He`s over me that`s where we are
We`re as close as we might ever be again
Every other weekend

Yeah, for fifteen minutes, we`re a family again
God I wish that he was still with me again
Every other weekend
