Hate It Here Lyrics - Sky Blue Sky - Wilco

I try to stay busy 

I do the dishes, I mow the lawn 

I try to keep myself occupied 

Even though I know you're not coming home 

I try to keep the house nice and neat 

I make my bed, I change the sheets 

I even learned how to use a washing machine 

Keeping things clean doesn't change anything 

What am I gonna do when I run out of shirts to fold? 

What am I gonna do when I run out of lawn to mow? 

What am I gonna do if you never come home? 

Tell me, oh, what am I gonna do? 

Oh, I hate it 

I hate it here 

When you're gone 

I caught myself thinking 

I caught myself thinking once again 

I have to try to keep my mind out of this 

Try not to pretend 

I'll check the phone 

I'll check the mail 

I'll check the phone again 

I call you're mom 

She says you're not there 

And I should take care 

Oh, I hate it here 

When you're gone 

I hate it 

I hate it here 

When you're gone 

I try to stay busy 

I take out the trash, I sweep the floor 

Try to keep myself occupied 

'Cause I know you don't live here anymore
