'73

Southern California, standin' in the drive A picture perfect moment, frozen in time Mom holdin' dad, dad holdin' me in '73 There's me in that striped dress, beneath the Big Boy sign Bottom of the Polaroid says fall of '79 Yeah, that's the night that Dad tried to explain to me Why he had to leave Everythin? changes, hey, that's reality Sometimes I wonder how all our lives would be If they'd a stayed in love like they were in '73 Here's pictures openin' presents, December '83 Some with mom and some with dad, two different Christmas trees And there's me and my new half brother In his baby blue outfit, winter '86 Mom and I, we both survived those awkward teenage years Graduation '91, dad flew back to be there There's me in my cap and gown Standin' between them, the three of us again Everythin? changes, hey, that's reality Sometimes I wonder how all our lives would be If they'd a stayed in love Everythin? changes, hey, that's reality Sometimes I wonder how all our lives would be If they'd 'a stayed in love like they were in '73 '73, '73, '73
