Molly

(album: Sideways Heart - 2021)

I watched my friends all graduate
They're getting jobs in different states
I haven't seen them since the day I moved out to LA
They did college right after high school
My parents never made that rule
They probably think that I'm not cool for not doing the same

As the years go by, I wipe the tears and try
Not to let it get me down 'cause they don't get it just like how

My mom calls me Molly
Even though it's not my name
No one understands it but somethings you can't explain
Of all the things to call me, nothing feels the same
You've always did things differently but I turned out ok
I say, I wouldn't have it any other way

When I was born my mom and dad were dating but it didn't last
You think it would hurt real bad when I was growing up
But I never lived in different homes 'cause through it all they still stayed close
I know it don't make sense to most but it made sense to us

As the years go by, it might sound but I
Never let it get me down, you might not get it just like how

My mom calls me Molly
Even though it's not my name
No one understands it but somethings you can't explain
Of all the things to call me, nothing feels the same
You've always did things differently but I turned out ok
I say, I wouldn't have it any other way

Hey honey, I just called to say goodnight to you
And I just want to know how your day went
[?]
Um, it's seven, um seven, ten, [?]

No I wouldn't have it any other way

You don't have to call me back but um [?]

I wouldn't have it any other way
