M. Lockwood Porter - The Whim to Walk Upstairs

I could stay up all night until three
Romantic, melancholy as can be
The devil could've caught me in his satisfying snares
If I hadn't had the whim to walk upstairs

My plans might've never gotten so off track
Dreams dead quicker. Debts would be paid back.
We would've saved the money spent on these hotels and these fares
If I hadn't had the whim to walk upstairs

My heart was aching, my knees were shaking
One step at a time
I thought it sinful, when we'd rekindle
Each night, but I'd still climb
I'd have never learned that the wise man rushes in while the fool prepares
If I hadn't had the whim to walk upstairs

We never would have had our famous fight
I never would have driven through the night
My best friends and your sisters would never walk down the aisle in pairs
If I hadn't had the whim to walk upstairs

We never would've wound up in this town
Your car, it might have never broken down
Our two-bed, one-bath bungalow wouldn't need all these repairs
If I hadn't had the whim to walk upstairs
