Intro So you raise another glass Looking for a different space I was leaning on the grass Dreaming of a sunnier day Oh it never came How could it have baby? Where the present meets the past It’s hard to be more than we’ve seen Verse 1: Your daddy was a drinker Just kept drinking ’til the jokes He was thinking sounded true Your mama was a thinker She just wasn’t thinking on the day That she looked at him and said "I do" Pre-Chorus ’Cause I will always I will always I will always I will always Try to get my life together I guess we always guess we always knew That it would be stormy weather This is how we want you to get high The way that we showed you The way that we told you was decent This is how we want you to get high This is how we want you to get by Verse 2: My daddy was a toker Just kept smoking ’til the jokes He could tell got very blue My mama was a joker If she was a hippy then I guess She was tripping on a high love you Pre-Chorus ’Cause I will always I will always I will always I will always Try to get my life together I guess we always guess we always knew That it would be stormy weather This is how we want you to get high The way that we showed you The way that we told you was decent This is how we want you to get high This is how we want you to get by Post-Chorus On your sorry lives   (Take another take another)       Bridge: I never picked a fight in my life Or raised a hand to my wife Or saw my children as a thing to bully I never dropped a pill in a drink I know how low you can sink my heart My heart is better than that I never picked a fight in my life Or raised a hand to my wife Or saw my children as a thing to bully I never dropped a pill in a drink I know how low you can sink my heart My heart is better than that    Outro Looking for a different space    Dreaming of a sunnier day Oh it never came How could it have baby? Where the present meets the past It’s hard to be more than we’ve seen     It’s hard to be more than we’ve seen

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les luttes et les blessures transmises de génération en génération. Le narrateur évoque les choix de vie de ses parents, entre l'alcool, l'usage de substances et une vie marquée par des décisions précipitées. Il réfléchit sur l'héritage émotionnel et les échecs, tout en s'efforçant de rassembler sa propre existence. Le texte souligne également la difficulté de trouver un équilibre dans un monde où le passé et le présent se heurtent, rendant les rêves d’un avenir meilleur parfois inaccessibles. Dans ce contexte, on ressent une certaine mélancolie, presque une résignation face à un vécu difficile, mais aussi une quête d'espoir pour transcender les erreurs et choisir une voie différente.
