Jeremy Mediates

Lyrics

[Intro] Tory’s got a cold one, grin from ear to ear Nicole walks in and the whole room cheers Amanda’s got a look like, “Here we go again” Jeremy takes a breath and counts to ten [Verse 1] Tory talks big with the foam on his lip Bud Light in hand, doing one more lap of the kitchen Nicole’s laughing, she knows every bit Keeps him in orbit when he starts to drift Amanda says, “Tory, you’re repeating that story” He says, “This time it’s better, this time it’s glory” Jeremy steps between the couch and the snack bowl “Let’s hear both sides, everybody stay cool” [Pre-Chorus] One says, “I’m right,” one says, “Not a chance” Jeremy’s got a notebook, trying to lead the dance [Chorus] Tory, Nicole, Amanda in the room Jeremy’s mediating while the arguments bloom Hands up, speak slow, let the whole thing breathe Nobody’s leaving till we settle this peacefully Tory, Nicole, Amanda, all talking at once Jeremy says, “One at a time”—then the whole place jumps [Verse 2] Nicole’s got the facts and a smile that lands Amanda’s got receipts and a plan in her hands Tory says, “Fair point,” then he changes the topic Jeremy writes “stay focused” in letters gigantic A chair scrapes back, someone cracks a joke Tory nearly snorts when he tries not to choke Nicole takes his sleeve, says, “You’re doing just fine” Amanda rolls her eyes, but she’s smiling this time [Bridge] Jeremy calls a timeout, deals the cards No courtroom speeches, no score to guard Nicole gets her say, Amanda gets hers Tory listens through the last of the blur Then they all crack up at the same old line The mess isn’t solved, but the mood’s doing fine [Final Chorus] Tory, Nicole, Amanda in the room Jeremy’s mediating while the arguments bloom Hands up, speak slow, let the whole thing breathe Nobody’s leaving till we settle this peacefully Tory, Nicole, Amanda, all talking at once Jeremy says, “One at a time”—then they laugh till they’re done [Outro] Tory sets the can down, Nicole says, “Good call” Amanda steals the last chip, Jeremy writes “resolved”
