lyrics

So what is your beef really baby?
I know our life isn’t perfect maybe
But ultimately it’s just me and you
Are you going to let it all just stew?

But the longer this thing is on the simmer
Our chances get progressively dimmer
I guess you have come to know my tricks
But you would throw odd things into the mix

Chorus:
It was all about my onions and peas
It was all about your spices and carrots
So now can you tell me honey please?
Did the little things start to scare us?

There is no set recipe to suddenly fix this
But you don’t seem to want to call it quits
And so it just lingers around in the air
You look out the window with a blank stare

Our life is a pot that you constantly stir
How this all started is a bit of a blur
We insist on throwing new things in
Living like this is a kind of a bloody sin

Chorus:
It was all about my onions and peas
It was all about your spices and carrots
So now can you tell me honey please?
Did the little things start to scare us?

Bridge:
We started with a recipe that worked for us
But we have thrown that under the bus
Now we don’t fake measuring anything
We just throw things around til they sting

Chorus
It was all about my taters and peas
It was all about your stock and carrots
So now can you tell me honey please?
Did the little things start to scare us?
Baby let’s take a stand before we parish
It’s only us darling that needs to scare us
