lyrics

Slow down, honest
Drown out the morning with coffee and cigarettes
About to turn 30
I’m all grown up now
We’ve lost precious time
You don’t know my friends
Never met my dog
Never seen where I live

You’re getting older
Now we’re pressed for time
You’ve got two grandkids
You swapped out your life
For a new family
One where i’ll never fit

Remember, the nights when
You’d play your guitar
We’d go to drive ins
Parked under the stars
We spent precious time
Our small family
Never got answers
Now i’m stuck in my grief

I’m getting older
Now we’re out of time
Two phone calls a year
Mostly i’m angry
I’m wasting my breath
Words fall on deaf ears

Why can’t i stay mad at you
You let me down so many times
Remember the email I sent you
I know you saw it And never replied
Why do I always give you a free pass
You’re the parent, I’m the child
I’m sick of holding my breath like this
I’ll take a ticket for the ride

Passive
Active
Scared, you’re a coward
Love me, hold me
Seen and supported
Baby, repressed
I’ll be accepted
Afraid it’ll be too late to accept it
