Hurt Feelings

My dad is almost home

I can't tell time yet, but I know

Because the air becomes electric and my mother cleans the stove

He'll walk in through the door, and both my eyes will find the floor

And I will search my brain to find something I might get yelled at for

He'll come in with a frown and tell me, \"Sit your ass right down\"

Or he might get his kicks from joking that he's just playin' around

And in a few years, I will leave, but I'll perpetually believe

That any man who says he loves me is hiding something up his sleeve

Wash me in the water

You can cut off all my hair, and I'll be

Changing like the weather, but I'll never be like him

The other girls date older guys and wear their t-shirts late at night

But everything I own that's oversized belongs to me, it's mine

And I don't have souvenirs of all the earliest of years

I know my father isn't dead, but it don't feel like he's still here

It's strange now that he's grey and getting older by the day

And my eyes tell me that he's harmless despite what my heart has to say

So maybe just forget, maybe move on, don't regret

Or maybe this is just another trick that hasn't happened yet

Wash me in the water

You can cut off all my hair, and I'll be

Changing like the weather, but I'll never be like him

'Cause blood is thick, but water is forever

And I'm stiffer than a board

Lighter than a feather

And that girl will be a problem

Only if you let her

And I left her back home, but I cannot forget her

I thought that it was my fault, and now

Sometimes, I still do

You didn't chase me through the park

So now I'm chasing after you

But I can't keep up the illusion

Or confirm your point of view

No, I can't bare to fake a smile when you walk into the room

'Cause blood is thick, but water is forever

And I'm stiffer than a board

Lighter than a feather

And that girl will be a problem only if you let her

And I left her back home, but I cannot forget her

Wash me in the water

You can cut off all my hair, and I'll be

Changing like the weather, but I'll never be like him

'Cause blood is thick, but water is forever

And I'm stiffer than a board

Lighter than a feather

And that girl will be a problem only if you let her

Yeah, I left her back home, but I cannot forget her
