Needle in the back says I love you baby

One was a lion

And the other was a flock of birds

Can't tell my head from my heart much lately

One gets light

And the other falls down like her

And it always seems like the longest dream

When you're all alone

Is he coming home

Round and round and round they fly

The needle dips into the dye and I'm yours

This is just the reason why

The lion dies and no one tries to call

But here comes the rain again

Falling down like words of avoidance

I said you're old enough to know this

So why do you let it get to you

Try to call but no one nobody noticed

I said you're old enough to know this

So why do you let it get to you

Your father left here when you were still ten

With nothing but your brown eyes looking for a painted wing

He said “honey take the kids to your mother's, I

Think I'm gonna lose control and I don't know why”

And it always seems like the longest dream

When you're all alone

Is he coming home

And here comes the rain again

Falling down like words of avoidance

I said you're old enough to know this

So why do you let it get to you

Try to call but no one nobody noticed

I said you're old enough to know this

And here comes the rain again

He's just running late again

I try to call but no one nobody noticed

I said you're old enough to know this

So why do you let it get to you

Come falling down like words of avoidance

I said you're old enough to know this

So why do you let it get to you

You're old enough to know this

You're old enough to know this

So why do you let it get to you

You're old enough to know this

You're old enough to know this

You're old enough to know this

You know who you are
