She had a voice of last year's cough
We passed around the phone
Sharing a word without growing up
When my turn came
I was ashamed
When my turn came
I was ashamed
Once when we moved away
She came to Romulus for a day
Her Chevrolet broke down
We prayed it never be fixed or be found
We touched her hair
We touched her hair
We touched her hair
We touched her hair
When she had her last child
Once when she had some boyfriend somewhile
She moved away quite far
Our Grampa bought us a new vcr
We watched it all night
We grew up inspite of it
We watched it all night
We grew up inspite of it
We saw her once last fall
Our Grampa died in a hospital gown
She didn't seem to care
She smoked in her room and coloured her hair
I was ashamed
I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed
I was ashamed of her
I was ashamed
Of her
Once when our mother called She had a voice of last year's cough We passed around the phone Sharing a word without growing up When my turn came I was ashamed When my turn came I was ashamed Once when we moved away She came to Romulus for a day Her Chevrolet broke down We prayed it never be fixed or be found We touched her hair We touched her hair We touched her hair We touched her hair When she had her last child Once when she had some boyfriend somewhile She moved away quite far Our Grampa bought us a new vcr We watched it all night We grew up inspite of it We watched it all night We grew up inspite of it We saw her once last fall Our Grampa died in a hospital gown She didn't seem to care She smoked in her room and coloured her hair I was ashamed I was ashamed of her I was ashamed I was ashamed of her I was ashamed Of her Explain Request ×
