Sponge

I left my head at home

Buried in the backyard with the dog

I've thought of leaving more times than once

I'm leaving you all alone

I tried so hard to be the rock

But all I felt like was a wet sponge

I wanna run, I just can't

The things it takes to be a man

I'm on a road, I'm not proud of the things I have done

Don't let my living bring you down

You'll never know how much it hurts to nod when I'm the son

I'll never stand and watch you drown

I'm under a spell, this isn't what I want for us

We've held it all together this long

My spine's deep as well

My heart is bigger than you know

This family is just a sad song

I wanna run, I just can't

The things it takes to be a man

I'm on a road, I'm not proud of the things I have done

Don't let my living bring you down

You'll never know how much it hurts to nod when I'm the son

I'll never stand and watch you drown
