Car Party Dear Son lyrics

I've been thinking of what you said to me.
Predictions painting melodies.
Excitement for the future
In my arms till you fall asleep.
And I've been thinking of what could have been.
Or where it all caved in.
And I'm not strong enough to stand against.
You're something I can't keep.

Oh no, you take too much as you are letting go.
Want to find another ship to sink, I know.
And when you're drowning there the dark eventually grows.
It's the finer things, the finer things that show.

I don't hear the music anymore
like I did when you came through the door
With the first words you spoke back at home.
I'm on the edge of my seat,
even though I shouldn't be.
I got front row seats to this train wreck

But at least you're not alone.

Those days are over.
Over you being the soul I look to.

Oh no, you take too much as you are letting go.
Want to find another ship to sink, I know.
And when you're drowning there the dark eventually grows.
It's the finer things, the finer things that show.

Those days are over.
Over you being the soul I look to.
And in these mirrored frames
I live life in the past.

Oh no, you take too much as you are letting go.
Want to find another ship to sink, I know.
