This song details how Mac realizes he sees his father – an addict and abuser – in his reflection more and more every day.
In “My Old Man”, Mac describes how he sees himself aging both physically and mentally. As he reflects on his image in the mirror, he hardly recognizes himself and notes that all...
[Verse 1]
Look in the mirror
Who do you see?
Someone familiar
But surely not me
For he can't be me
Look how old and cold and tired
And lonely he's become
Not until you see
There's a price tag hanging off of having all that fun
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
Oh no, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
[Verse 2]
Walk on the outside, holding her hand
Someone familiar, her and her man
But it just can't be
Look at all the steps that brought you where you are today
Not until you see
As a heart grows stronger, sometimes love is pushed away
[Chorus]
Uh-oh, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
Oh no, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
Uh-oh, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
Oh no, looks like I'm seeing more of my old man in me
