Press Play

Separation anxiety
I see my son I see myself I'm seeing what my father seen
I can hardly leave for work it's hard for me
Yet alone be gone for weeks
If you're not in arms reach then you're too far from me
It seems like your mom and me argue pretty commonly
And it turns out that her parents are not too fond of me
They'll say that I'm no good, they'll say I smoke lots of weed
The second part is true but the first part do not believe
I am not a perfect person I have done a lot of things
Misdirected unaccepted and always left God to blame
And the way I go insane makes me think if Gods insane
Probably why he's so set on making everyone know his name
I could really care less as long as you know my pain
So I unload my brain more space to fly when I roll my plane
Holding all this weight but I see no gains
Comparing the snow to rain but really it's all the same they fall the same

It's bring your son to work day
Yea I could show him some word play
Or I could keep it simple
Make it easy to understand what the words say

The truth is one day you'll be older and you'll press play
And hear about how I wasn't having the best day
How I regret you having to see this stressed face
I kept faith that happy would be the next phase
I only feel close when I'm closer to you
And what I go through to get to you if you only knew
But it's best that you don't understand keep being you
My baby boy but not for long I don't know what to do

You have a lot of growing up to do
I hope that I live long enough to see it through

Your daddy almost died at 22
Reminder when you run away be mindful where you're running to
Looking back while running straight there's plenty you can run into
Only for perspective should you ever walk in daddy's shoes
Watch how daddy moves be glad that you have these clues
I finally have it all because all that I have is you
Without you there would be nothing to lose
With my head in the noose my mind is still on the loose
Maybe we can find it together just me and you
Maybe that's why I brought you here with me to the booth
Maybe the only person that I can trust is you
Maybe you're the only one I can open up to who knew

One day you'll be older and you'll press play
And hear about how I wasn't having the best day
How I regret you having to see this stressed face
I kept faith I kept faith

I only feel close when I'm closer to you
And what I go through to get to you if you only knew
But it's best that you don't understand keep being you
My baby boy

I love you son
