Carlsbad Lyrics by A.O. Gerber

Fathers EP

2016

[Verse 1]
Momma said it would not be easy
But still I pick up the line say
"Papa, I'm coming home"
We take a car down to the seaside
The tide rides up and grabs my clothes
The sun it sparkles over
Orange groves and avocados
And there's the fish I let behold me
As a child
And through this haze I watch
All our pictures fade away
You are as bare, as present as you've ever shown me
You don't care to know me
And that's okay
[Verse 2]
My brother talks while
I cry over paintings
Did you see that one where my face is small?
And mother's irises bloom beside me
They're so damn tender
So damn tall
And if this lasts, well
I hope you'll ask me for
All the reasons that I forsook you
Your crinkled smile
I haven't seen it in a while
Was it always this withered, brittle sorrow?
What else did I borrow?
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
[Verse 3]
At least now I know that when you go
It'll be all too easy to forget you
But with your book in my hand I see that you're
Just a man, so it should be easy
To forgive you
I think I will do
