Lyrics Barenaked Ladies – Bringing It Home

It’s not a Cinderella story
It’s not an overnight success
Where everybody expects unlikely outcomes
And I’m just somewhere in the mess

It’s not an underdog sensation
Or a movie of the week
Anybody involved from the beginning
Knows it’s not just a lucky streak
I’m bringin it home

Forever After
It’s in our bones. Hey!
Stay at the house
‘Cause we’re bringing it home. Oh!

We raised the rafters
We made Rome. Hey!
We bagged it up and we’re bringin it home

It’s not a simple right of passage
Where you just follow every step
Somebody took every single roadmap
And there just wasn’t any left

So we found our own direction
Made our way to everyone
And now we look back on every misstep
And wonder how we got it done
I’m bringin it home

Forever After
It’s in our bones. Hey!
Stay at the house ’cause we’re bringing it home. Oh!

We raised the rafters
We made Rome. Hey!

I’m the quickest of the fast draws
Stick it making slack jaws

Last of the last straws
Slippin til the ice thaws

Swimming when it’s ice cold
Brimmin’ with the big bowl

Flavor never waiver
Put the life in the Lifesaver

Never ever let down
Good to get down

Freaky like antiquey-d?
I’m gonna make you my clown

All’s well that ends well
Glad like in Gladwell

Days after Days Inn
I put my 10k’s in (Yep!)

Forever After
It’s in our bones. Hey!
Stay at the house
‘Cause we’re bringin it home. Oh!

We raised the rafters
We made Rome. Hey!
We bagged it up and we’re bringin it home. Oh!

Forever After
It’s in our bones. Hey!
Stay at the house
‘Cause we’re bringin it home. Oh!

We raised the rafters
We made Rome. Hey!
We bagged it up and we’re bringin it home

We bagged it up and we’re bringin it home
