Lasting Good - Seaany Moa

One day down and life to go Looks like you and me, we've lost all control Major Tom is moving on And the space left in between us Is the place where we belong And who would've thought that we would go Falling off the face of the world while it moves on? No one says 'you told me so' What if everything we live for comes down to skin and bone? What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting What if fear is just a ghost? It's more scared of us than the closet we keep closed If every day could never end Do we live for happiness? Feel the one last kiss What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting What if it's good and lasting? Good and lasting

What kind of man wraps a cloth around his waist and holds the baby to his chest Walks through the streets swaying like a drunk in the morning? What kind of man feels the rage of men and only swallows at his daughter's fists? What kind of man bends to hold them in their suffering In their questions, in their garbled turns of phrase? What kind of man admits his failures, turns over his heavy stones Stands at the feet of grief and wanting and does not turn away? What kind of man becomes a father A lasting place So how am I supposed to sum it up? Listen, this is what the summer does And I ain't losing any one of us, a mother's love Yeah, mother's love I know it isn't what it is, I wish it was The love is great, yeah To raise the man that you hate Growing in the man that you make Ah, knowing that if you plan your escape Then the next man is handed his fate They say that time waits for no man, uh At least it didn't for my old man So fuck it, me and the devil used to hold hands A slow dance through the city, through that cold sand I'm here all fucking week and ain't got no plans Was staring back at the reflections of a grown man Staring back at the reflections of a grown man Damn, but I don't want to be an old man
