Lyrics
0:00"Loving father friend and son"
0:04Printed backwards on my shoulder blade
0:08From leaning back on a plaque on a bench
0:13I carry David's name until it fades
0:18Why does it feel significant?
0:21Why do I have to tell you about it?
0:27Trying to fall asleep back flat on the floor
0:30While you are eating continental breakfast in Singapore
0:35You make me homesick for places I've never been before
0:40How'd you do that?
0:42How's tomorrow so far?
0:53Meeting your family was a trip seeing what you got from them
0:58For better or worse a blessing and a curse
1:01You don't need to love them but you do
1:04You can take off a year or two
1:06We'll all be here when you get back
1:10When you told me 'bout your new man it wasn't news
1:14'Cause you've got all these mannerisms that you never do
1:18Like rolling your eyes and laughing real dry
1:22Like you were trying him on for size
1:27And even if it doesn't fit you'll wear it
1:31'Cause if it's what you want you're gonna get it
1:45I've heard this anecdote at least a dozen times
1:48Yeah I know every word and inflection as if it were mine
1:53I like watching you win over a new crowd
1:57You can make 'em go wild you can leave 'em spellbound
2:01But you will never be famous to me
2:15You will never be famous to me
2:28I should know my neighbors' names
2:30I should not stay up so late
2:32Modigliani melancholy got me long in the face
2:37But I feel better when you call just to tell me how you are
2:41How'd you do that?
2:43How's tomorrow so far?
2:45You make me homesick for places I've never been before
2:50How'd you do that?
2:52How's tomorrow so far?
