You got home late it was already dark out

You sighed as you often do  

When you take your shoes off by the fireplace

I didn’t want to ask, I stayed quiet

It’s been a rough couple of months for you

But you said, “Hey, there’s something I need to tell you”

So we sat on the balcony floor

And I lit a cigarette

When you told me I was gonna be a dad

I said, “I’ve always wanted a family,

I’ve thought a lot about having a baby”

It’s really strange to think

This is how it starts

The friends, the love, the toys, the parties

Immense adventures, jobs, degrees 

The pain, the wonder, the apathy

A life that comes to be

A whole new series of

The friends, the love, the toys, the parties

Immense adventures, jobs, degrees 

The pain, the wonder, the apathy

So I’ve been weird for a couple of days

Quieter than usual

Looking at things under a different light

And you’ve been really tired

And I’m trying to keep up

Working on being worthy of this lifeline

It’s really strange to think

This is how it starts

The friends, the love, the toys, the parties

Immense adventures, jobs, degrees 

The pain, the wonder, the apathy

A life that comes to be

A whole new series of

The friends, the love, the toys, the parties

Immense adventures, jobs, degrees 

The pain, the wonder, the apathy
