So this is the house, the house that we built
So this is the car, the car that we bought
So these are the things, the things that money can buy
You say that you want them, well so do…

Oh what’s this direction, oh darlin’ anyway?
Cause for the things you want, there’s a price to pay

Distraction, keeping you away from me
Distraction, keeping me from where I want to be
Distraction, for a moment or a mile,
The days turn into weeks, the weeks keep turning…

I wake up, I walk around, remember what I’m doing here
I break down, I clean up, I make the bed we sleep in
You wake up, you walk around while I’m still sleeping
We’re always in a hurry for love not money
And the line’s always busy while we’re trying to get through

Oh what’s this direction, oh darlin’ anyway?
Cause for the things you want, there’s a price to pay

Distraction, keeping you away from me
Distraction, keeping me from where I want to be
Distraction, for a moment or a mile,
The days turn into weeks, the weeks keep turning…

Distraction, keeping you away from me
Distraction, keeping me from where I want to be
Distraction, keeping you away from me
Keeping me away from you…
