My Father's Daughter
Time is passing strangely in this
Little house of glass
And we're dead upon the water
Like a ship without a mast
As a wise man with a mustache once explained
To us with math
All the good times pass so quickly
While the hard times seem to last
And I have found this to be true
Especially, my dear, with you
Like two fishies out of water
Or two birdies stuck on land
We are tethered to each other
Confused lovers, hand in hand
Though we try to use our mirrored pasts
To help us understand the other one
The reflection's always backwards
And compassion comes undone
'Cause I'm my father's daughter
And he's his daddy's son
How the space between us changes
Though we're standing oh so still
I am sure that you still love me
But I'm also sure you will
Still go away
Perhaps today
And I will wish
For you to stay
Like two bandits who are running
With the stolen gold in hand
I'm afraid to be your woman
You're afraid to be my man
And we are tethered to each other
Like two thieves we understand
That as we run
There's a certain trap before us
Like a warmly loaded gun
'Cause I'm my father's daughter
And you're your daddy's son
When I get to feeling awful
About the way we stand
In a flight of healing memory
I see us there hand in hand
Crying quietly together
As the temple burned on land
Paying respect to our fathers
Who we'll never see again
And that was love
True as can be
Me holding you
You holding me
Like two narcissistic children
We are prone to fight and yell
And all the things that make this heaven
Are the same ones that make it hell
It's a paradox of opposites attracting
Just for fun
But we fell in love
And now it's done
We fell in love
'Cause I'm my father's daughter
And he's his daddy's son
Little house of glass
And we're dead upon the water
Like a ship without a mast
As a wise man with a mustache once explained
To us with math
All the good times pass so quickly
While the hard times seem to last
And I have found this to be true
Especially, my dear, with you
Like two fishies out of water
Or two birdies stuck on land
We are tethered to each other
Confused lovers, hand in hand
Though we try to use our mirrored pasts
To help us understand the other one
The reflection's always backwards
And compassion comes undone
'Cause I'm my father's daughter
And he's his daddy's son
How the space between us changes
Though we're standing oh so still
I am sure that you still love me
But I'm also sure you will
Still go away
Perhaps today
And I will wish
For you to stay
Like two bandits who are running
With the stolen gold in hand
I'm afraid to be your woman
You're afraid to be my man
And we are tethered to each other
Like two thieves we understand
That as we run
There's a certain trap before us
Like a warmly loaded gun
'Cause I'm my father's daughter
And you're your daddy's son
When I get to feeling awful
About the way we stand
In a flight of healing memory
I see us there hand in hand
Crying quietly together
As the temple burned on land
Paying respect to our fathers

And that was love
True as can be

We are prone to fight and yell
And all the things that make this heaven

But we fell in love
And now it's done
We fell in love
'Cause I'm my father's daughter
And he's his daddy's son
