Music & Lyrics by Drew Brody<\/p>\n
i took my dad to breakfast before i caught the plane
\ni said: there’s something i need to tell you, dad
\nthere’s something i should explain
\nthere’s a certain special someone and it’s time i let you know
\ndo you get me dad, do you hear where i’m trying to go?<\/p>\n
now my father he’s a smart man, and he loves his middle son
\nhe knows sometimes i do things
\nand sometimes i am undone
\nwhen he’s talking to his pancakes, he’s nervous i can tell
\n’till he looks at me through a tear in his eye and says:
\nson i know you well<\/p>\n
and when you’re high you’re high
\nbut when you’re low you’re low
\nyou’re always asking “why?”
\nyou’re never taking “no”
\nit’s a dirty world
\nwhat you gotta do
\nis find someone who’s gonna help you through it<\/p>\n
i sat down with my mother for a talk in the backyard
\nshe lay out in the sunshine as i lay out all my cards
\ni said: i really need you to know me
\nand this is what i do
\ndo you get me, ma, do you hear what i’m saying to you?<\/p>\n
she told me: life is lived by compromise, but you, you want it all
\ni don’t know if that’s your blessing, or if it’s just your tragic flaw
\nsee i’m trying to understand you, but you’ve gone so far away
\ni worry for your safety
\nyou know i worry every day<\/p>\n
cause when you’re high you’re high
\nbut when you’re low you’re low
\nyou always need to climb
\nyou never stay below
\nand it’s a dirty world
\nall i want for you:
\nfind someone who’s gonna help you through it<\/p>\n
you’ve been staying over now, for almost half a year
\ni have my favorite parts: your neck, your lashes
\nthe inside of your ear
\non the nights i sleep without you, i don’t sleep half as well
\ni’m shocked how much i need you
\ni’m shocked how hard i fell<\/p>\n
now i’m careful what i ask of you so that i don’t get in your way
\nand though it’s not my constitution
\ni’m trying to take this day by day
\nalthough you haven’t said you love me,
\nyou said perhaps you might
\nand now i think perhaps perhaps will get me through the night<\/p>\n
cause when i’m high i’m high
\nbut when i’m low i’m so low
\nthere is no getting by
\nwithout some letting go
\nand it’s a dirty world
\nwhat i gotta do
\nis find someone who’s gonna help me through it<\/p>\n
yeah, it’s a dirty world
\nbut i’m making do
\ni found someone who’s gonna help me through it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
