[Verse 1]
So this is the house
The house that we built
So this is the car
The car that we bought
So these are the things
The things that money can buy
You say that you want them
Well so do...

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what's this direction
Oh darlin', anyway?
'Cause for the things you want
There's a price you pay

[Chorus]
Distraction
Keeping you from me
And it's distraction
Keeping me from where I want to be
Distraction
For a moment or a mile
The days turn into weeks
The weeks keep turning

[Verse 2]
Well, I wake up
And I walk around
Remember what I'm doing here
I break down
And I clean up
And I make the bed we sleep in
You wake up
And you walk around
While I'm still sleeping
We're always in a hurry for love, not money
And the line's always busy while we're trying to get through

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what's this direction
Oh darlin', anyway?
'Cause for the things you want
There's a price you pay

[Chorus]
Distraction
Keeping you from me
And it's distraction
Keeping me from where I want to be
Distraction
For a moment or a mile
The days turn into weeks
The weeks keep turning

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what's this direction
Oh darlin', anyway?
'Cause for the things you want
There's a price you pay

[Chorus]
Distraction
Keeping you from me
And it's distraction
Keeping me from where I want to be
Distraction
For a moment or a mile
The days turn into weeks

[Outro]
Distraction
Keeping you from me
Distraction
Keeping me from where I want to be
Distraction
Keeping you from me
Keeping me away from you
Keeping you away from me
Keeping me away from you
Keeping you away from me
Keeping me away from you
Keeping you away from me
Keeping me away from you
Keeping you away, you away, oh
