bedtime

the night's upon us - the day we shared is ending 
the clock hands move and point to hours late 
we climb the stairs and get in our last punches 
toothbrushes ready - for now they just can wait 

    cause i'm just fine bein' here in the middle 
    brothers on my left and sister on my right 
    got matchin' pjs we've had since we were little 
    come tuck me in and kiss my cheek goodnight 

this here old chair is made just for a fam'ly 
each has a place to take it for a ride 
we laugh at everything, and we laugh at nothin' 
four little jokers all posin' side by side 

    and i'm just fine bein' here in the middle 
    we say our prayers before we dim the light 
    got matchin' pjs we've had since we were little 
    come tuck me in and kiss my cheek goodnight 

i looked away when you just snapped the picture 
so many lately were taken so it seems 
our mem'ries here they mirror one another 
i close my eyes and drift off in my dreams 

    cause i'm just fine bein' here in the middle 
    come hold me closer - i promise i don't bite. 
    got matchin' pjs we've had since we were little 
    come tuck me in and kiss my cheek goodnight
