lyrics

every time that i get sick
i think to myself this must be it
here's the one to bring me down
tell my family i love them
say goodbye to all the children
we talked about but never had
all they are for me and you
fiercely loved but never used
baby names
yeah we really had some cool ones
shame we didn't get to use 'em
ellington, poe and blaine
you and i were both so busy
never really had the money
spent it all on video games
do you ever feel regret?
watching our friends steal our best
baby names

funny how we're both
parenting experts
now that it's too late

i am nothing like my father
you are nothing like your mother
we would make our own mistakes
i know there's no guaranteeing
who our kids would end up being
but i know they'd be great
some of them end up in songs
winnipeg, horace and john
baby names
