Adam Wigger - Carlsbad lyrics

[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... (6x) [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
