Emmett

You’re an old man now, where’d the time go
Am I the one who’s been letting it pass, letting it pass
As the years roll by when I miss you I, I don’t call you
I just look down at my hands
I created a map
We could say we’re sorry but we don’t know what it means
We don’t understand the scope and I don’t wanna
You could call my phone and I’ll try answering the thing
Don’t know how to talk don’t mean I don’t wanna
Dad, can you tell me ‘bout me
Dad, can I tell you ‘bout you
Dad, can I tell ‘em ‘bout you
Throw the ball and I’ll catch it this time
Your foot hit the curb well the light hit my eyes
Garage door is opening so it’s time to hide
You stay downstairs and make sure she’s alright, 
Make sure it’s alright, make sure we’re alright
Can you spot the problem among all these broken things
We can’t cross the river ‘less we wade through water
Have you any questions you’ve been dying to ask me
Last time we were close I was still a daughter
Maybe it’s not too late but life’s proving shorter than I realized
And maybe there’s still a way to honor the story without a reprise
Maybe it’s not the ache that hurts anymore, it’s the lack of the ache
Did you know I changed my name?
But only the first, I kept ours the same
Dad, can you read us Aesop’s Fables
Or about the Greek gods and all their pain, all their pain
If you had powers and were able
Dad, is there anything you’d change
