When Our Parents Die
Danielle Ate the Sandwich

when we're born we're wrapped up in blankets

and baptized in water and shown around town

its a good life just being a baby

looking up occasionally and cooing at strangers

when we live we are creatures of habit

setting the table and stocking the pantry

when we live we are high school bus drivers

and mothers and fighters and losers and fools

when our parents die we'll be young again

nobody's gonna check under my bed

the day my parents die

we're insured but we're not sure of nothing

tasting those memories of summer camp love

and all the proverbs and fables and wise words

couldn't teach us nothing cause we weren't gonna listen

but when our parents die we'll be listening

there's no sound quite like the empty house

on the day your parents die

and our minds were once throbbing sponges

testing the air for the last drip of knowledge

and as we grow we are soaked in frustration

only remembering we remembered something once

when our parents die we'll remember them

all the things we wished we would have said

before the day our parents died
