st FRET Intro: Verse: Riding in the backseat, sipping on a Pepsi Looking out the window, driving to the bus stop together I tell her only three sleeps and I'll be right back And then we're gonna have a good time when I come to get her Pre-Chorus And I call her every single night I'll miss her every day And if she kissed me and waved goodbye I could hear her say Stay at home, mother Stay at home Stay at home, mother Stay at home Verse: I've been working late nights making up for the times That I wasn't in the crowd cheering out loud at her school plays Tickets to a circus, maybe a new bike I just want her to know that I love her more than working all day Pre-Chorus But the price will never measure up To what's inside a box While I run along around the world She tells me to stop Stay at home, mother Stay at home Stay at home, mother Stay at home Pre-Chorus / Chorus: We could play house and pretend That tomorrow you won't be gone Stay at home, mother Stay at home Bridge: I wish some things were different Doesn't change one memory My little girl grew up While I was too busy to see That she's become the one thing That I could never be Stay at home, mother Stay at home Stay at home, mother Stay at home Pre-Chorus / Chorus: She could have a house and couple kids And never have to be involved As a stay at home mother Stay at home mother Stay at hoooooome OUTRO: play - 4x's over

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les sentiments d'une mère qui jongle entre son travail et son désir d'être présente pour sa fille. Elle se souvient des moments où elle aurait aimé être là pour ses spectacles scolaires et souhaite compenser son absence par des gestes attentionnés. La mère exprime un profond attachement à sa fille et réalise que, malgré ses efforts pour subvenir à leurs besoins, rien ne vaut les précieux instants passés ensemble. Elle ressent une certaine nostalgie face à la rapidité avec laquelle sa fille grandit et la difficulté de ne pas pouvoir vivre pleinement ces moments uniques. Ce mélange d'amour, de regrets et de souhaits illustre parfaitement le dilemme que vivent de nombreuses mères travaillant pour concilier vie professionnelle et vie de famille.
