Tulsa Airport, Real Time

"I like your hair he said
As if I had just come back
From the beautician on
Any given Saturday as if
I had just dumped the shopping
As if I had just shouted "Baby, I am home
He told me about how the dog
Had eaten the sugar and about
The mess on the carpet and the weather
Little things, you know, things that matter
We hugged and went outside for a smoke
Stood there as if we were meant to be as if we
Had a past a present and a future
