Only Son Lyrics by Local Natives

Gorilla Manor

2009

Only son
What more are you hoping for?
What you love
Is more than you can afford

I know they come out the woodwork
As soon as your head's wrong
But too much time makes heavy hands
And lifting up finger's tough
Oh, and if I go I won't be back again
And if I don't I know I'm sure to regret

Only son
What more are you hoping for?
What you love
Is more than you can afford

Preacher's listening to the Good Book
And wondering if he heard right
So hold your calls and clear your schedule
Until things are brought to light
And if they were only things we saw or read
Well I know I'd much prefer to stay in bed

Only son
What more are you hoping for?
What you love
Is more than you can afford

There's no need of any talk of other options
We'll see when you're in the water
There's no need of any talk of other options
We'll see see

Only son
What more are you hoping for?
What you love
Is more than you can afford
