Boyish

Our stucco arms are forever tied loose

Your velvet touch sends me back to the moon

Daddy's coming home but mama's looking guilty

Brother's in the basement till he's 30

Wolf child's heavy with the weight of the world

Storing all his love in an adolescent girl

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 know if I did something wrong

All I ever heard was, it wasn't my fault

But what good is truth if you don't understand?

Nothing but a pair of calloused hands

There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree

Lost to the night tide growing in me

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying

Singing to the drunks like they're mom and dad

All we ever knew is what we didn't

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying

There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree

Lost to the night tide growing in me

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying

There's sunlight dripping off the apricot tree

Lost to the night tide growing in me

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying

Singing to the drunks like they're mom and dad

All we ever knew is what we didn't have

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya

I've been saying to ya
