Father’s Son

[Intro]
You gonna miss her, darling?
I'm gonna miss her, I'm gonna miss you actually
Oh, no mummy?
Yeah, you
Oh, and me as well? Oh, right, what about mummy?

[Verse 1]
Hate to say you were right
But sometimes, I see my shadow on the wall at night
It's your shape and height
And I hear your voice remind me to turn out the light
When you're young, you got time
To waste looking away just to not to see eye to eye
Tattoos and hair dye
Like it won’t end up the same gray that I saw the last time we FaceTimed

[Chorus]
Look all that I've done
To cut all the ties that tie both of us
But that's the thing about blood
Thеre's no part of you that I could outrun
One day, I'll wake up with all thе same lines in all the same places
I'll pass on your perfect imperfect advice when I didn't take it
How is it that boys become their father's son?

[Post-Chorus]
Father's, father's son
Father's, father's

[Verse 2]
Learn as they go
What to say to a boy dressing up in his mom's clothes
To kick out or hold close?
And sometimes, what I got was not what I needed the most
But I've grown

[Chorus]
Look all that I've done
To cut all the ties that tie both of us
But that's the thing about blood
There's no part of you that I could outrun
One day, I'll wake up with all the same lines in all the same places
I'll pass on your perfect imperfect advice when I didn't take it
How is it that boys become their father's son?

[Interlude]
I'm sorry I made you upset when I said, "Please do not put that sign up on that door"
Um, I just hope you'll–, I just hope you can stay, that's all
Now, I hope you can come back

[Chorus]
Oh, that's the thing about blood
There's no part of you that I could outrun
One day, I'll wake up with all the same lines in all the same places
I'll pass on your perfect imperfect advice when I didn't take it
How is it that boys become their father's, father's son?
How is it that boys become (Their father's, father's son?)

[Outro]
How is it that boys become–
('Cause here I am)
