Nine Months from Reaction Formation by Justin Friello

I've been thinking it's about time for me to leave home
Not even my girl would ever know
Where I went or where I'm going on that road
I've been thinking it's about that time for me to leave home

All I need is a little motivation
And in about nine months I know I'll get some
And all those cries won't be heard by my ears so far gone
All I need is a little bit of motivation

No fingers, no eyelids
Other than the ones of you and me alone
And I shouldn't say that I won't be back some day
But it's only gonna be nine months till I leave home

How can I look you in the eye
Without seeing two more growing inside?
‘Cause yours are all I'll ever need, but now
the number's too high
How can I stand here and look you in the eye?

No fingers, no elbows
Other than the ones of you and me alone
And I shouldn't say that I won't be back some day
But it's only gonna be nine months till leave home

Now it's gettin' kinda lonely out on the road
Days are lonely and my spirit's almost broke
My mouth is dry and the sun is high and I'm all alone
It's gettin' real lonely way out here on the road

No fingers, no smiles
Other than the ones that I call my own
I hope some day I'll be back your way
But it's only gonna be nine months till I leave home
