In the family home
Your sister held her head in her hands
You should know
That's how we became friends
Your sister and I held our heads in the sand
Hiding from your old man
It's different now but it wasn't then
verse 2
The family home
Ice cream cone
Plasma screen
Magazines
By the downstairs' phone
(By the phone)
Like a girl's best friend
(Like a girl's best friend)
(By the phone)
Sharing a bed with my girl's best friend
Then her leg brushed my hand
It's funny now but it wasn't then
She's a good friend (In the family home)
She's a real good friend (In the family, in the family home)
In the family home (In the family home)
In the family home (In the family, in the family home)
Interlude

(before going into third verse)
verse 3
In the family home
Your father held his breath in the sedan
He should know
He missed his afternoon show
The sun rains down with the afternoon's glow
It's a lie that you know
He spent all those years in that light
And then it went all up * *I prefer not to end with the Fm * *
