lyrics
[Chorus]
Father
Father always warned me
To keep my eyes out
For the devils, devils
Father
Father always told me
To choose the better
Of both evils, evils
[Verse 1]
Like a flag in the wind
Your rippled skin
Shows me who you are
Shows me where you've been
Like a snake, in a pinch
You shed your skin
Shows me who you were
The state that you were in
Go on now
I don’t know where you've gone now
You fell to earth but somehow
You kept on falling through
Left you
So someone else could love you
I’m running out of fuel
To feed this fire
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Like a child, you pretend
Yeah, you pretend
You’re invincible
But you’re irrational
Like a boy, no handle bars
You’re letting go
Try to show the world
That you can pull it off
Gone now
I don’t know where we've gone now
We fell for us but somehow
We kept falling through
Left you
But I don’t want to leave you
But I am only preaching
To the choir
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Drop the games, drop the act
And I’ll come crawling back
Devils on your shoulder
Ready to attack
Take my hand, my father said
To leave what you can’t hold
But it’s worth the fight
So I keep holding tight
[Chorus] (2x)
Father
Father always warned me
To keep my eyes out
For the devils, devils
Father
Father always told me
To choose the better
Of both evils, evils
[Verse 1]
Like a flag in the wind
Your rippled skin
Shows me who you are
Shows me where you've been
Like a snake, in a pinch
You shed your skin
Shows me who you were
The state that you were in
Go on now
I don’t know where you've gone now
You fell to earth but somehow
You kept on falling through
Left you
So someone else could love you
I’m running out of fuel
To feed this fire
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Like a child, you pretend
Yeah, you pretend
You’re invincible
But you’re irrational
Like a boy, no handle bars
You’re letting go
Try to show the world
That you can pull it off
Gone now
I don’t know where we've gone now
We fell for us but somehow
We kept falling through
Left you
But I don’t want to leave you
But I am only preaching
To the choir
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Drop the games, drop the act
And I’ll come crawling back
Devils on your shoulder
Ready to attack
Take my hand, my father said
To leave what you can’t hold
But it’s worth the fight
So I keep holding tight
[Chorus] (2x)
