Every other weekend
Every other Friday
It's toys and clothes and backpacks
Is everybody in,
Okay, let's go see dad
Same time in the same spot
Corner of the same old parking lot
Half the hugs and kisses there are always sad
We trade couple words and looks and kids again
Every Other weekend
Stephanie McMahon was just getting ready to leave her house at exactly 4 pm just like every other 2nd Friday. She was strapping her youngest daughter Murphy into her infant seat. her older daughter Aurora was lying in the grass looking at the bugs crawling through the grass.
Stephanie finished getting Murphy into her carseat, called Aurora to the SUV, strapped the little girl into her seat and they were off.
Soon they reached the familiar recreation center parking lot and she saw her ex husband Paul Lévesque leaning against his hummer awaiting the arrival of his kids. Stephanie often thought about what if she and Paul were still together.
Just as Stephanie's eyes were beginning to tear up she quickly wiped them and pulled to a stop about 20 feet away from the hummer.
Like usual Stephanie unlocked the doors stepped out and unloaded her two kids she kissed Aurora, who ran straight towards the hummer. Steph also unhitched Murphy's car seat and handed it to Paul who took it happily. Stephanie just stared at Paul as she unloaded the rest of the kids' things. Once she unloaded them all she drove off with stinging tears flooding her eyes.
Every other weekend
Very few exceptions,
I pick up the love we made in both my arms
It's movies on the sofa, grilled cheese and cut the crust off
"That's not the way mom makes it, daddy," breaks my heart
I miss everything I use to have with her again,
Every other weekend
Paul Levesque was waiting next to his hummer in the parking lot he visits frequently. Paul looked down at his watch it read 4:54 "Only 6 more minutes" he thought to himself. Soon he saw his ex wife's car approaching inside he was excited to see his children but a little worried to see his ex wife.
Paul was looking forward to spending the weekend with his 2 kids. They had the whole weekend planned; first Paul would take them to the zoo and then maybe the new water park downtown. Or maybe they would just chill at the house and watch movies. Once Stephanie's car pulled up Aurora jumped out of the car and ran towards her daddy he picked her up and swung her around.
A few minutes later after Stephanie took out Murphy's car seat she handed it to Paul; he grabbed his daughter from her politely and just stared at her for a moment and wondered where everything went wrong in their marriage.
I can't tell her I love her
Paul knew he still loved Stephanie.
I can't tell him I love him
Stephanie knew she loved Paul.
'Cause there are too many questions and years in the car
Both of them knew they couldn't tell each other there would be too many questions and they remembered their kids sitting in the car.
So I don't tell him I miss him
I don't tell her I need her
She's (He's) over me, that's where we are
So we're as close as we may ever be again
Every other weekend
Both of them as they drove in their separate directions thought about telling each other but knew they couldn't so decided to keep it to themselves.
They both knew they were as close as they were going to get and it was going to stay that way.
