My Dad Is Almost Home
I Can't Tell Time Yet But I Know
Because The Air Becomes Electric
And My Mother Cleans The Stove
He'll Walk In Through The Door
And Both My Eyes Will Find The Floor
And I Will Search My Brain To Find
Something I Might Get Yelled At For
He'll Come In With A Frown
And Tell Me "Sit Your Ass Right Down"
Or He Might Get His Kicks From Joking
That He's Just Playin Around
And In A Few Years I Will Leave
But I'll Perpetually Believe
That Any Man Who Says He Loves Me
Is Hiding Something Up His Sleeve
Reff :
Wash Me In The Water
You Can Cut Off All My Hair
And I'll Be Changing
Like The Weather
But I'll Never Be Like Him..
The Other Girls Date Older Guys
And Wear Their T-Shirts Late At Night
But Everything I Own That's Oversized
Belongs To Me, It's Mine..
And I Don't Have Souvenirs Of All
The Earliest Of Years
I Know My Father Isn't Dead
But It Don't Feel Like
He's Still Here
It's Strange Now That He's Grey
And Getting Older By The Day
And My Eyes Tell Me
That He's Harmless
Despite What My Heart Has To Say
So Maybe Just Forget
Maybe Move On, Don't Regret
Or Maybe This Is Just Another Trick
That Hasn't Happened Yet
Reff :
Wash Me In The Water
You Can Cut Off All My Hair
And I'll Be Changing
Like The Weather
But I'll Never Be Like Him..
Cause Blood Is Thick
But Water Is Forever
And I'm Stiffer Than A Board
Lighter Than A Feather
And That Girl Will Be A Problem
Only If You Let Her
Yeah I Left Her Back Home
But I Cannot Forget Her..
I Thought That It Was My Fault
And Now Sometimes I Still Do
You Didn't Chase Me Through The Park
So Now I'm Chasing After You
But I Can't Keep Up The Illusion
Or Confirm Your Point Of View
No I Can't Bare To Fake A Smile
When You Walk Into The Room..
Reff :
Cause Blood Is Thick
But Water Is Forever
And I'm Stiffer Than A Board
Lighter Than A Feather
And That Girl Will Be A Problem
Only If You Let Her
Yeah I Left Her Back Home
But I Cannot Forget Her..

Only If You Let Her
