LyricMeaning

No We're Not Actually
Dads

Visits used to be on holidays and weekends

now you're always a phone call away from wherever you're needed

for emergency speakings


A body on a stretcher, eyes rolled back and barely sleeping

tears in your voice, I'm trying to keep you from weeping.


Because everything will be fine, as long as I say so.

And everything will go right, as long as I say so.


There's the prettiest view of the city from his bedside window

if you ignore what they're for, these machines make the most beautiful glow

turn the lights out and go


Pillows under his head, make sure there is a steady blood flow

hold his hand tight, whisper goodbye slow


Because everything will be fine, as long as we say so.


And everything will go right, as long as we say so.


So we'll tell him to stay young

Don't die on me yet


Because I can't bear to see him like this again

I keep thinking back to all of us in that kitchen on those mornings


Steady nights of sleeping

Steady nights of sleeping

Steady nights of sleeping

Oh how I miss those


Oh how I miss you
