Story Behind The Song
My ex-wife and I: she was better at saying I'm sorry. I had to write a song. Obviously that wasn't enough to keep her from leaving, thus the "ex".

Lyrics
HOW WILL WE LEARN TO MAKE OUR PEACE
(BEFORE WE CRAWL INTO BED?)
Somedays
Its me versus you
we both want the same thing but can?t seem to get through
you want to play the queen
but I want to be king...will be king on the couch tonight
its always a terrible fight
the struggle to make things right
to lose the anger before we sleep
I toss and turn while you moan and weep
HOW WILL WE LEARN TO MAKE OUR PEACE BEFORE WE CRAWL INTO BED?
its always a terrible sight
my arms folded tight over my chest
your eyes are wet
your hands upon your aching head...why why why you cry....
HOW WILL WE LEARN TO MAKE OUR PEACE BEFORE WE CRAWL INTO BED?
somedays we wonder what we?ve been fed
how will we learn to make our peace... ... before we crawl into bed?
