TV on the Floor

Got a TV on the floor

And a deadbolt on my door

A grudge and two packs of cigarettes

Well the landlord's on my case

I can't blame him these days

I'm trying my best to make the rent

Maybe tonight I should turn off my mind

And just sit back with the late night cable shows

Listen to the wind, I know no one's coming

Oh sometimes, it is just nice to pretend

Now Matt moved to Nevada

To try to be closer to his father

Sometimes I wish I'd gone along too

I wouldn't mind the weather

'Cause I've always loved the desert

And the heat might distract me from you

Maybe tonight I should turn off my mind

And just sit back to the sound of the screen door

Tapping in the wind, I know no one's coming

Oh sometimes, it is just nice to pretend

Now I heard about your mother

And the rumor of another

Lover in the valley of your heart

Could it be the wildfire

Building higher and higher

That's calling me right back to the start

Maybe tonight I should turn off my mind

And wish that you were six feet underground

You'd see me no more

Or my TV on the floor

Oh sometimes, it is just nice to pretend
