King of "Soon

Låttext

[Verse 1] Adam buys the media from his kitchen chair Swedish passport, maple syrup in his hair The campaign needs a tweak, the numbers need a look He says, “I’ll get to it,” then opens up a book Two dogs are circling the crumbs beside his feet The kids are staging races down the hallway beat His wife calls, “Adam, are you getting up today?” He gives a little thumbs-up, then drifts the other way [Chorus] Oh, Adam, Adam, king of “soon” Your coffee’s cold, it’s nearly noon Your wife is mad, the dogs need out The kids have turned the couch about From Sweden to Canada, the whole house knows: He’ll do it after one more snooze [Verse 2] A client wants the ad set fixed before the day is done Adam’s got a spreadsheet open, but he’s barely begun He’s testing every pillow like a media placement test And finding that the soft one gives the best results for rest His wife has packed the lunches, found a missing shoe The dogs have made a break for it; the kids are yelling too She says, “You’re on dog duty!” Adam says, “Okay.” Then checks the weather app and lets another minute fade [Chorus] Oh, Adam, Adam, king of “soon” Your coffee’s cold, it’s nearly noon Your wife is mad, the dogs need out The kids have turned the couch about From Sweden to Canada, the whole house knows: He’ll do it after one more snooze [Bridge] But when the little ones come climbing on his knees And both dogs settle close, as if to say, “Stay, please” He laughs, gets up, and finally takes the lead A lazy heart can still show up for those in need [Final Chorus] Oh, Adam, Adam, out the door Two leashes, two kids, and one chore more His wife still rolls her eyes, but smiles despite the fuss The Swedish media buyer is on dog-walk duty for us From Sweden to Canada, the whole house knows: He might get there—just don’t ask him when he goes [Outro] “After one more snooze,” he says with a grin The dogs are already halfway down the drive again
