I’d rather be on Star
*Verse 1 (Her on Star Island):*
She's floating on a ferry,
under skies so blue,
Breathing in the ocean,
finding something new.
Yoga by the shoreline,
meditation at dawn,
Qigong in the sunset,
where all the stress is gone.
Her heart’s in the heavens,
her spirit’s flying free,
While I'm stuck at home
with a plumbing catastrophe.
*Chorus:*
She’s stretching to the stars,
I’m bailing out the floor,
She’s healing her soul,
I’m fixing the door.
She’s finding her peace
in the quiet and the calm,
I’m fighting off a flood
with a wrench in my palm.
We’re living two lives,
oh, can’t you see?
She’s on Star Island,
but the storm’s here with me.
*Verse 2 (You at home):*
I get a text with pictures,
ocean waves so wide,
While water from
the shower is pooling inside.
She’s reaching for zen,
and I’m reaching for a mop,
Wishing that the leak
in my garage would stop.
Old toys are all soggy,
the drain’s still clogged,
But she’s basking in sunsets
while my day’s waterlogged.
*Chorus:*
She’s stretching to the stars,
I’m bailing out the floor,
She’s healing her soul,
I’m fixing the door.
She’s finding her peace
in the quiet and the calm,
I’m fighting off a flood
with a wrench in my palm.
We’re living two lives, oh,
can’t you see?
She’s on Star Island,
but the storm’s here with me.
*Verse 3 (The Floor and the Toys):*
Our mom’s worried
‘bout the floor,
says it might give way,
But I’ve got a plan
for a party today.
We’ll gather toys, a dozen,
Then stand in the stall,
Jumping up and down
to test the bathroom wall.
My son’s waterlogged old toys soaked,
but hey, they’re here to play,
Jumping in shower stall all day.
*Chorus:*
She’s stretching to the stars, I’m bailing out the floor,
She’s healing her soul, I’m fixing the door.
She’s finding her peace in the quiet and the calm,
I’m fighting off a flood with a wrench in my palm.
We’re living two lives, oh, can’t you see?
She’s on Star Island, but the storm’s here with me.
*Bridge:*
She’s basking in the starlight, I’m swimming in the mess,
She’s found inner peace, and I’m stuck with this stress.
But maybe when it’s over, and the floor’s finally dry,
I’ll head to Star Island and just stare at the sky.
*Outro (Hopeful):*
She’s stretching to the stars, and I’ll be there soon,
I’ll leave the leaks behind, and I’ll chase the moon.
For now, I’m here with buckets, but I’ve got my dreams,
Of joining her in peace, by the island streams.
