Boyish

Our stucco arms are forever tied loose (Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh) Your velvet touch sends me back to the moon (Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh) Daddy's comin' home but mama's lookin' guilty Brother's in the basement 'til he's 30 (Oh, oh) Wolf child's heavy with the weight of the world Storing all his love in an adolescent girl (Oh, oh) There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree Lost to the night tide growing in me Singing to the drunks like they're mom and dad All we ever knew is what we didn't have Never really knew if I did something wrong All I ever heard was "it wasn't my fault" (Oh, oh) But what good is truth if you don't understand? Nothing but a pair of calloused hands (Oh, oh) There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree Lost to the night tide growing in me (I've been sayin' to ya, I've been sayin' to ya) (I've been sayin' to ya, I've been sayin') Singing to the drunks like they're mom and dad All we ever knew is what we didn't have (I've been sayin' to ya, I've been sayin' to ya) (I've been sayin' to ya, I've been sayin') There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree Lost to the night tide living in me (I've been sayin' to ya, I've been sayin' to ya) (I've been sayin' to ya, I've been sayin') There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree Lost to the night tide growing in me (I've been sayin' to ya, I've been sayin' to ya) (I've been sayin' to ya, I've been sayin') Singing to the drunks like they're mom and dad All we ever knew is what we didn't have (I've been sayin' to ya, I've been sayin' to ya) (I've been sayin' to ya, I've been sayin')
