LyricMeaning

Father's Son
Dave Hause

I caught the fever when she went down slow

California sun had turned to indigo

Lip biting tension on the patio

Her carnivore fingers in my bag of blow


Vacation goggles Montecito sky

She wakes up and dazzles even when she's fried

She gave herself so free I barely had to try

A longing that neither of us could satisfy


That kiss goodbye... I left feeling free


Jungle life is savage when you're always stoned

I'd warm myself to her voice on the telephone

She made her way under my skin I should've known

Girls like her ain't ok just being alone


But fear is like a self fulfilling prophecy

I warned her she could always count on me to leave

That line about you can't have what you want it's free

And how I need to sail out on the sickening sea


I kissed her strong... felt it in my knees...

She said well boy what if you're wrong? you could stay right here with me


I said I am my father's son

It's a fate I can't outrun

While you lie in wait, I'll medicate then devour you just for fun

I am my father's son


Another couple visits and my grip had slipped


I get weak little knees when the script gets flipped

Lonely is an ocean I never learned to swim

Club feet won't evolve, I could use some fins


Sentimental fool with a stitched up heart

I tried to impress her with my stagnant art

My common ugly tunings and this poison pen

Maybe I could one day learn to just say when


But she said love is about what you're down to do,

It's not a stack of verses or a new tattoo.

You'll never wake up feeling like you've just been used

And it's got no time for self abuse,


Let's kiss goodbye and you can go on feeling free



Boy what you call love is not for me


She said you are your father's son

You'll devour what you can't outrun

So don't get me wrong, I love your songs and the time we had was fun

But you are your father's son


I am my father's son

Devouring all I can't outrun

Like a fool I ran with my little plans always out for number one

I am my father's son
