lyrics

A home in the hills cluttered with the things a family own
My dad, his friends and poker
Red Venom and a Super Soaker
Home videos of road trips in an LTD wagon
Drinkin' in LA's for kids, now I'm over 26
I swear my child won't dewll upon all the things they've never done
Or miss the things they've never had
'Cause I'll build walls to keep the bad things out
And all our whereabouts accounted for
Parent's Night that's plural and affection as if it's normal
Scolding rows designed to fix
An audience of two for your card tricks
Ratings increase as you master the shows and mingling
Awards will build a sturdy path
And everything will be designed to last
I swear my child won't dewll upon all the things they've never done
Or miss the things they've never had
'Cause I'll build walls to keep the bad things out
And all our whereabouts accounted for
Don't get me wrong
Every day I'm still stunned by what you done
You took one egg and a small but somehow still mixed a sponge
I'm still around 'cause you planted these feet firmly into the ground
Nothing you done stings
It's what absence brings
That brought me to this
It brought me to this
Smart TV's for ten years after they've become obsolete
Blu rays from a librarary 'cause Blockbuster will only die wae me
No rooms to spare in a house that's had no time to grow old
A cluttered shelf hangs on the wall
It'll never fall
Under the weight, the weight of it all
