John & Lydia Lyrics by Medium Build

Marietta - EP

2024

[Verse 1]
Standing in the back of the delivery room
Watching the love of your life go under
Your old man had plans and never visited you
And now you'll wonder how you’ll ever be a father
When I was fifteen, you were fifty-five
And I got tall and we never saw eye-to-eye
Now that you're older, I got empathy
And you look like the man that I'm gonna be
[Chorus]
And did I grow up into someone that you like?
I know that the people you heard from
Told you it was all black and white
The things that were shaping you
The things that are shaping me
And we both know you can’t run from family
[Post-Chorus]
Would we have been friends
If we were born at the same time?
Maybe in another life
[Verse 2]
On your way home from the delivery room
Holding the love of your life in a bundle
You were the invisible kid from a litter of six
Your dream was just to be a mother
And when I was fifteen, you told me everything
Whole bunch of heavy shit that I couldn't process
Now that I'm older I've got empathy
You were trying like hell to connect with me
[Chorus]
Did I grow up into someone that you like?
I know that the people you heard from
Told you it was all black and white
The things that were shaping you
The things that are shaping me
And we both know you can't run from family
[Post-Chorus]
Would we have been friends
If we were born at the same time?
Maybe in another life
[Bridge]
We could go out sometime
Watch the game, get a burger and fries
Get high, I'd smoke you out
Maybe in another life
I could be some guy
That you lean on when you're having doubts
Maybe in another life
[Chorus]
Did I grow up into someone that you like?
I know that the people you learned from
Told you it was black and white
The things that were shaping you
Now they're shaping me
And I’m so glad we’re family
[Post-Chorus]
Would we have been friends
If we were born at the same time?
