Parental Lyrics

Stepping into dark water, alas

You're wandering aimlessly, you're wondering fast

Looking over high tides, your life

It runs through your mind, it runs through your mind

I wanna go, and I don't really wanna go

And I just wanna feel it out, it's all I think about

It's complicated

Fear, and in a flash every experience you had is past

Life just ends like that

"But would you take this key and run"

My mama told me everything

"To a place where you can still see the sun"

My papa told me everything

The world is a crazy place, but it's OK

Cuz all this love can hit you like cocaine

But honestly, it's like we're locked in a cage

My mama told me everything

My papa told me everything

We all wanna be like our heroes

We all wanna fly away from this place

Won't come back till we say so

Some of us look and some of us

Close our eyes to keep time slow

I wanna go, but I don't really wanna go

I need you to listen close

"Take this key and run"

My mama told me everything

"To a place where you can still see the sun"

My papa told me everything

The world is a crazy place, but it's OK

Cuz all this love can hit you like cocaine

But honestly, it's like we're locked in a cage

My mama told me everything

My papa told me everything

Reason for the fight

Searching for my eyesight

And some of them they wonder why

Reaching out for gold

All the life we gain

From every story that we've been told

Wanna be like that

No worries like that

Take a chance, swing the bat

Call them to the mat

"You're not finished here"

" I know it's not clear"

Reason for the fear

Chase it down like we're all gonna die

Chase it down like we're all gonna die

Chase it down like we're all gonna die

"take this key and run"

My mama told me everything

"To a place where you can still see the sun"

My papa told me everything

The world is a crazy place, but it's OK

Cuz all this love can hit you like cocaine

But honestly, it's like we're locked in a cage

My mama told me everything

My papa told me everything
