(album: A Real Good Kid - 2019)

I cleaned out your dresser, found some joints
My sister smoked 'em, I didn't see the point
And everyone keeps saying, that I look just like you
Life don't seem so long anymore

The day my daddy died
I damn near quit the band
The day my daddy died
I held my mama's hand
I cried my tears then dried 'em up
Put my face inside my hands
The day my daddy died
I became a man

The cops came, they did not take off their shoes
People hug me, I smell like ten thousand perfumes
Gave away the wheelchair, you're gone but I'm still here
January in Detroit is cold as fuck

The day my daddy died
I damn near quit the band
The day my daddy died
I held my mama's hand
I cried my tears then dried 'em up
Put my face inside my hands
The day my daddy died
I became a man
The day my daddy died
I became a man

[Mike's dad:] I love you a lot
[Mike:] I love you too
[Mike's dad:] Remind me to let you run away if you need to run places like the basement. I mean, that's what it's a part of… that… being an individual
[Mike:] Yeah letting people go
[Mike's dad:] Yeah
[Mike:] Remind me to let you go too if you need to
[Mike's dad:] Absolutely
[Mike:] I love you
[Mike's dad:] I love you so much
