Lyrics

Father

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I have this dream that I am hitting my dad

With a baseball bat

He is screaming and crying for help

And maybe halfway through

It has more to do with me killing him

Than it ever did protecting myself

And I believe that yeah, dad

Maybe no one is perfect

But I believe that you were pushing your luck

It just sucks it played out like this

A terrible movie

You can tell none of the actors even give a fuck

You look good tonight, girlfriend

Can I sleep in your bed?

And when I crawl out in the morning

Can I stay inside your head?

'Cause you were high school

And I was just more like real life

And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend

I was just more like his wife

I'll do the pushups

I'll wear the makeup

I'll do whatever he wants all night

'Cause you were okay, okay as a girlfriend

And I was just more like real life

A long, long time ago my great, great, great, great grandfather

Took something that did not belong to him

And that is why today I have an eagle in my veins

I am part native american

And I am leaving as soon as I come

As soon as I come you will probably forget my name

I hope I fall asleep at the wheel and crash my car on the way home

Or I could just stay here, because

But you look good tonight girlfriend

Can I sleep in your bed?

And when I crawl out in the morning

Can I stay inside your head?

'Cause you were high school

And I was just more like real life

And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend

But I was just more like his wife

I'll wear the makeup

I'll do the pushups

I'll do whatever he wants all night

'Cause you were okay as a girlfriend

And I was just more like real life

More like real life

But you were high school

And I was just more like real life

And you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend

I was just more like his wife

And it is ok

I'll wear the makeup

I'll do whatever he wants all night

'Cause you were okay, okay as a girlfriend, girlfriend

But I was just more like real life

More like real life
