Teenage Daughter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I’m capable of changing I know I can change for you
All my life I’m rearranging sadness into something new
I can feel the dread dissolving, conversations, problem solving
End despair and my death wishes, when you cook I do the dishes
I’ll avoid the pits and pratfalls, be a good dad, watch the football
Sharp cold water breaks the habit, does the kid know I’m an addict?
[Chorus]
One day I’ll have a teenage daughter
Hope that I can be there for her
One day I’ll have a teenage daughter
I hope I can be there for hеr
One day I’ll have a teenage daughtеr
[Verse 2]
If I’m capable of changing what if the damage is done
I can handle middle ageing as long as no one brings their gun
I can feel the stress absolving, long lost friends are now responding
Shopping bags of my well wishes, when I cook you do the dishes
I’m trying to fix my body, I’m trying to mend my mind
In the time that I was angry I treated myself so unkind
[Chorus]
One day I’ll have a teenage daughter
I hope we save the planet for her
One day I’ll have a teenage daughter
I hope I save something for her
One day I’ll have a teenage daughter
I hope I save something for her
[Post-Chorus]
I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
[Verse 3]
And it all felt so simple, from the borrowed guitar to how my clothes fell
I was look- I was looking for you
Cold night in October, cut shapes in the light of the Yarra Hotel
Before I knew I was looking for you
Held hands in the alley, danced with my cousin, did shots at the bar
I was look- I was looking for you
And we tried on new families and surnames and friend groups felt closer to who we actually are
Before I knew I was looking for you
Of course I remembered, the pain in the open, tightening my shirt
I was look- I was looking for you
It just didn’t matter, a missed rung on the ladder, climbing out of the hurt
Before I knew I was looking for you
You look like an angel, you looked like the most radiant you
I was look- I was looking for you
With our kid in your belly, our life in our hands, our names on our shoes
Before I knew I was looking for you
[Bridge]
I was look- I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
I was look- I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
I was look- I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
I was look- I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
I was look- I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
I was look- I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
