Thumbs

[00:00.43]You hung up the phone
[00:03.13]And I asked you what was wrong
[00:07.79]Your dad has come to town
[00:11.28]He'd like to meet
[00:15.20]I said, "You don't have to see him"
[00:19.05]But for whatever reason you can't tell him no
[00:24.57]
[00:28.95]So we meet him at a bar
[00:32.62]You were holding my hand hard
[00:37.33]He ordered rum and Coke
[00:40.89]I can't drink either anymore
[00:44.46]He hadn't seen you since the fifth grade
[00:48.03]Now you're 19 and you're 5'8
[00:51.77]He said, "Honey, you sure look great
[00:55.25]Do you get the checks I send on your birthday?"
[01:00.70]
[01:05.64]I would kill him
[01:08.92]If you let me
[01:12.66]I would kill him
[01:15.84]Quick and easy
[01:19.05]Your nails are digging
[01:23.03]Into my knee
[01:26.33]I don't know how you keep smiling
[01:32.80]
[01:36.38]I love your eyes
[01:40.28]And he has them
[01:43.36]Or you have his
[01:46.04]'Cause he was first
[01:50.75]I imagine my thumbs on the irises
[01:57.76]Pressing in until they burst
[02:03.76]
[02:07.79]I clear my throat
[02:10.49]And say we ought to get home
[02:13.74]He offers us a ride
[02:16.82]I reply, "No, that's alright"
[02:21.94]And when we leave
[02:24.26]You feel him watching
[02:29.02]So we walk a mile in the wrong direction
[02:34.52]
[02:39.50]I would kill him
[02:43.08]If you let me
[02:46.47]I would kill him
[02:49.83]Quick and easy
[02:53.06]Your nails are digging
[02:56.93]Into my knee
[03:00.38]I don't know how you keep smiling
[03:07.17]I don't know how you keep smiling
[03:13.90]I don't know how you keep smiling
[03:20.98]
[03:24.07]I wanna take your face between my hands and say
[03:32.75]"You two are connected by a pure coincidence
[03:39.55]Bound to him by blood, but, baby, it's all relative
[03:46.50]You've been in his fist ever since you were a kid
[03:53.37]But you don't owe him shit even if he said you did
[04:05.71]You don't owe him shit even if he said you did"
[04:12.89]
