Young Fathers Lyrics - Artist : Typhoon
I was born in September
And like everything else, I can't remember I replaced it with scenes from a film that I will never know And I blinked, it was over I was thinking my life would get slower That I would sort this shit out when I'm sober It gets better now that you're older I read the scares on the front page It says we're waiting around for an ice age It says our comforts, they come with a price tag They cured the cancer but discovered a new plague They say just think of the children And imagine the world that we've willed them Is populated with weirdos to kill them And break their hearts And everybody knows That this the end It's now fashionable Dinner party conversation Now I'm as old as you were when you had me Should I be afraid? Should I start a family? Raise them in the wild 'cause up against the city My love is such a small thing When you're young, you're hot You have your whole life before you Everyone will adore You'll grow up, you'll be an astronaut Or anything you want What goes up, goes up in flames And now your choices surround you Indecision confounds you And you're pacing around the place Shows you everything you're not And then the brief little romance You committed a soul without its consent To live a life as a form without its content Because young people get bored everyday Yeah young people, young people get bored Never went to church, thought a song was going to save me So I wrote a hymn on the guitar that you gave me Singing what you spoke, we built a fire just for smoking You know hope is just a small thing I just called to tell you I just called to say Learn all your mistakes You were my inspiration And it wasn't all we hoped for But we shake it off and we say Here's your yellow ribbon I am your consolation I was born in September And if I died today Just know I don't regret you Some things I can't explain It's a slow descent It's a loveless place Every goddamn day Let it go No matter where you go Know that I will follow I just called to tell you I just called to say Learn all your mistakes Passed down through generations |
