Triplet Daughters
by Walter Mitty And His Makeshift Orchestra

I thought I was too old to feel so lost like this
I figured I'd streamline through this middle chunk of my life
Maybe a little lonely, maybe a little unfulfilled
But surrounded by a dog, a cat and wife

 And what if we’d had the kid?
The triplet daughters that I dreamed of
To give all my love and occupy my time
I think I'd make a pretty good dad
Secretly deeply sad, but that's the sacrifice

 And I thought I was too old to be confused about who I am
I figured I’d be so self assured and set by now
Maybe I'm on a bi-polar floodplain
Maybe I've been misled to beliеve there is a pеrmanence somehow

 Cause 10 years is mostly nothing, but an hour is a long time
And one day I woke up and realized there's still so much to go
And I can't settle for this, no I can't live like that
It felt like murder packing up and leaving home

 And now I'm bouncing off of couches with a duffel bag and a cat
Cashing in on all the guest room favors that I'm owed
When you blow up your life, you better like the taste of scratch
With no umbrella in the piss of the unknown

 So here’s a toast to you, and our dog who I miss
The cat’s right here
I tell her not to hate you, but in her eyes
Every mother that she's loved is gone
And you’re the third to leave
That's why she stays so close right by my broken side

 Nah, this is a toast to you
And that stray island pitbull
I'm ashamed I'm abandoning her life
I bet she still looks at the door when there’s car wheels in the driveway hoping
Her dad is home from the biggest tour of all time

 And I said here's a toast to you
And our hat trick triplet daughters in whichever parallel world they reside
I bet you'd make a pretty good mom against the planet's odds
We would have worked hard to make sure their future shined

 I guess I still think about our triplet daughters
Ya I still think about our hat trick triplet daughters all the time
