about
reference demo Lily and I recorded for an upcoming project with two of our favorite local music producers
lyrics
Don't know how much longer I'll be here
Don't wanna leave things unsaid
If you have to go on without me
Got some things to get off my chest
I tried to be a good father
Mostly failed, it's true
Dad's a cautionary tale, most likely
Is the theme that came through
Life isn't fair was my first lesson learned
Mom told me she'd watch from the moon
Your heart broke into dust while I watched
And I grew up way too soon
I saw the pain and the passion
I know you can't live in the past
I believe in true love and soulmates
But never in good that will last
Tried to teach you to follow your dreams
Risking it all's how you thrive
But you learned to worry about money
And depression'll eat you alive
You watched while I medicated
Trying to drown out the pain
The wrong parent survived to raise you
And it fills me with shame
A tire swing and fence-climbing blooms
Barefoot trampled grass and we sing
Thunder and rain was the song of our story
But you helped me find light in lightning
We survived when I wish we had lived
Tears they still sting in my eyes
Seeing through tears is no way of living
But it's alright with you by my side
Oh such a long road
We've been on
Our hearts alive but our bodies are tired
Together we'll make it home
Oh such a long, long road
We've been on
Our hearts alive but our bodies are tired
Together we'll make it home
