Dating My Dad

(album: Inside Voices / Outside Voices - 2022)

Tell me where you went last night
I know that you came home late
Look me in the eye, eye, eyes
All you do is shake, shake, shake
Tell me did you cross that line
I can see it on your face
Look me in the eye, eye, eyes
Feel like I'm insane

A broken ashtray next, to a vodka soda, I'm
Ten years old again when you're not sober, I
Always said I'd make better choices
Searching for the antidote but I keep picking poison

Feels like I'm dating my dad
How predictable is that?
We keep repeating the past
Mom and dad, we love 'em
Either fuck 'em or become 'em

Now I'm acting paranoid
Always in a nervous state
I don't have an appetite
All I do is shake, shake, shake
I've never been the jealous type
But now I'm checking every word you type
And every step you take, every friend you see
I'm feeling like the thought police, a

A broken bottle left in an empty kitchen, I'm
Ten years old again when you go missing, I
Always said I'd make better choices
Searching for the antidote but I keep picking poison

Feels like I'm dating my dad
How predictable is that?
We keep repeating the past
Mom and dad, we love 'em
Either fuck 'em or become 'em

Fuck 'em or become 'em
Mom and dad, we love 'em
Either fuck 'em or become 'em

How to love and not create
The same old songs, the same mistakes
The ones who taught me
Oh, they probably felt this way
I could break the cycle
Or I could be a psycho
And never really change

Fuck 'em or become 'em
Feels like I'm dating my dad
We keep repeating the past
Mom and dad, we love 'em
Either fuck 'em or become 'em

Either fuck 'em or become 'em
Fuck 'em or become 'em
