My Old Man

[Verse 1]
Me and my old man
Don't see eye to eye
We take our walks outside
Underneath the birch trees
He said, "I think it's gonna freeze this year"
I said, "I gotta get away from here"
Me and my old man
Me and my old man

[Chorus]
Shoulda been enough to know
That you'd let us all down
Could have been enough to try
Without making a sound, it's all part of the plan, my dear
It's all part of the plan, my dear

[Verse 2]
So we walked along the mendin' walls
Laid beneath the tortured talls
And we sang a song of newfound cheer
Laughed at the passin' years
Yeah, we talked about things to come
Talked about the battles won
He said, "I think it's gonna freeze this year"
I said, "I gotta get away from here"

[Chorus]
It shoulda been enough to know
That you'd let us all down
Coulda been enough to try, coulda been enough to try

[Bridge]
Oh, I've been such a fool
I spent my life waiting for you, oh
Through these trees I see
With my father's eyes, I realize the weight

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Should've been enough to know
That you'd let us all down
It could have been enough to try
Without making a sound, it's all part of the plan, my dear
It's all part of the plan, my dear
It's all part of the plan, my dear

[Outro]
'Tween me and my old man
I just gotta get away from here
Gotta get away from here
Gotta get away from here
Gotta get away from here
Gotta get away from here
(Gotta get away)
