lyrics

Trapped and bored in my big ass city, as I watch you grow from afar.
Hard to accept and endure the distance. Can’t be as patient as you are.
Leave your phone on, call me back, ‘cause your old man lost all he had.
A fucked up dad.
But a late night movie, close and warm under blankets,
Yeah, it is all that we are left with:
Homeworks and some shitty cooking,
Skateparks and small carousels. Guitars and video games.
It’s all we’ll remember in the end.
Your toys are getting dusty in a dark and empty room, like me still wondering what happened.
Hundreds of hours sleeping in a train to get to see you before it’s dark.
“‘Till next time” seems like an eternity, left alone in this car park.
Leave your phone on, call me back ‘cause your old man lost all he had.
A fucked up dad.
But a late night movie
Close and warm under the blankets
Yeah, it is all that we are left with.
Hard to act like it is nothing when people only care for themselves.
“As long as we have each other”....
To think I made something as beautiful as you back then.
Then my work’s almost done, now that you’ll soon become a man.
To think I made something…
It's been a long trip back only to find an empty home.
We won’t be discouraged by this fucking distance.
Don’t let them tell you otherwise. Don’t let them tell you what happened.
It's been a long and quiet death of a painful hope.
Time makes no difference.
Don’t let them tell you otherwise: everything ends with a smile.
