Mom I I let you down And though you say the are happy Why is the power off, and I'm up? And mom, I he's not around But don't you place the on me As you yourself another drink and
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the night, I drive on Maybe we this too far
I in headfirst Never thinking about who what I said hurt, in what My mom probably got it the The brunt of it, but as as we are Did I it too far? Cleaning out my and all them other songs But regardless I don't hate you ma! You're beautiful to me, cause you're my mom Though far be it for you to be calling, my was Vietnam Desert and both of us put together Can form an bomb equivalent to chemical warfare And forever we can drag on and on But, to disagree That from me up under the Christmas tree don't mean shit to me You're kicking me It's fifteen degrees and it's Christmas Eve (little prick just leave) Ma, let me grab my fucking coat, to have each other's goats Why we always at each others throats? Especially when dad, he us both We're in the same fucking boat, you'd think that make us close (nope) Further away that drove us, but together shine, a car full of belongings Still got a ways to go, back to grandma's house it's straight up the And I was the man of the house, the oldest, so my shoulders carried the of the load Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight old, and That's I realized you were sick and it wasn't fixable or changeable And to this day we remained estranged and I it though, but
I we are who we are shining in the dark night I drive on Maybe we this too far
'Cause to day we remain estranged and I hate it though you ain't even get to witness your grand baby's growth But I'm sorry mama for Out My Closet', at the time I was angry Rightfully maybe so, never meant that far to it though, 'cause Now I know it's not your fault, and I'm not jokes That song I no longer play at shows and I cringe every time on the radio And I think of Nathan being in a home And all the you fed us And how I just wanted you to taste own, but Now the medications taken and your mental states deteriorating slow And I'm way too old to cry, shit's painful though But ma, I forgive you, so Nathan yo All you did, all you said, you did best to raise us both Foster care, that cross you bare, few may be as heavy as But I love you Debbie Mathers, oh what a web we have, 'cause One thing I asked was where the fuck my deadbeat dad was Fuck it I guess he had trouble keeping up every address But I'd have every mattress, every rock and desert cactus Own a collection of maps and followed my to the edge of the atlas Someone ever moved them from me? That you bet your ass's If I had to down the chimney dressed as Santa, kidnap them And one has met their grandma Once you pulled up in our drive one as we were leaving to get some hamburgers Me, her and Nate, we you, hugged you And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness come me As we off to go our separate paths, and I saw headlights as I looked back And I'm mad I get the chance to thank you for being my Mom and my Dad So Mom, accept this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet I guess I had to get off my chest, I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm dead The stewardess said to my seat belt, I guess we're crashing So if I'm not dreaming, I hope you get this that I'll always love you from afar you're my mama
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the night I drive on we took this too far
I want a new One a cause So I'm coming home Well no matter what the And if the plane down Or if the crew can't me up know that I was alright And I was not to die
Oh even if there's songs to My will carry me know that I'm alright I was not to die I put my faith in my new girl So I never say goodbye cruel Just that I'm alright I am not to die
I we are who we are shining in the dark night I drive on Maybe we this too far, I want a new life
