After All of This and Everything

Listen to me little sleeping monster
You there with the sugar-crusted face
I understand the urge to run away kid
But stay awhile and you might like the place

Someday you'll be sixteen and awkward
And too old for the puppets but still odd
And you may feel alone, or even angry
Like life's a joke and grown ups are a fraud

But kid I swear to God
That after all of this and everything I can tell you it's not true
After all of this and everything I promise you'll get through
And Mom and Mike you'll cut some slack
Cause both of them have got your back
Whatever crap may come our way
After all of this and everything kid, we'll be okay

And you may feel like mommy doesn't love you
And you just feel just angry every day
And mad as hell at dad because he left you
And angry at yourself to feel that way

But listen when I say
That after all of this and everything I can tell you what I know
After all of your own everything, you'll learn to let it go
I know this family will get through

And after all of this and everything, Fletcher
I love you
Oh crap
I love you
After all of this and everything, I have to face that too
But yeah, I love you kid
I do
