"Loving father friend and son"
Printed backwards on my shoulder blade
From leaning back on a plaque on a bench
I carry David's name until it fades
Why does it feel significant?
Why do I have to tell you about it?
Trying to fall asleep back flat on the floor
While you are eating continental breakfast in Singapore
You make me homesick for places I've never been before
How'd you do that?
How's tomorrow so far?
Meeting your family was a trip seeing what you got from them
For better or worse a blessing and a curse
You don't need to love them but you do
You can take off a year or two
We'll all be here when you get back
When you told me 'bout your new man it wasn't news
'Cause you've got all these mannerisms that you never do
Like rolling your eyes and laughing real dry
Like you were trying him on for size
And even if it doesn't fit you'll wear it
'Cause if it's what you want you're gonna get it
I've heard this anecdote at least a dozen times
Yeah I know every word and inflection as if it were mine
I like watching you win over a new crowd
You can make 'em go wild you can leave 'em spellbound
But you will never be famous to me
You will never be famous to me
I should know my neighbors' names
I should not stay up so late
Modigliani melancholy got me long in the face
But I feel better when you call just to tell me how you are
How'd you do that?
How's tomorrow so far?
You make me homesick for places I've never been before
How'd you do that?
How's tomorrow so far?
