The Foxsmiths - Prodigal Lyrics

I've been waking up at six every morning
And I can't seem to fall back asleep
So I just read or write songs until I go over to Zach's to work on them
And I don't think these songs will ever be famous
And I don't even want them to be
But I really hope everyone knows they're the only things keeping me going right now

Following, following
We were quiet kids
You're never around anymore, never around anymore
Look who it is: it's my long lost son again
Prodigal prodigal prodigal prodigal

I spend my days in a haze, lifeguarding young children
Observing how beautiful and terrible they are to each other
Don't compliment me, don't critique me, don't yell at me, don't love me
Spare me the shame, I am embarrassed by everything I do

Following, following
We were quiet kids
You're never around anymore, never around anymore
Look who it is: it's my long lost son again
Prodigal prodigal prodigal prodigal

I had a dream last night I was at a party
I left my first born son by a Ferrari
I went to get a drink, I was sober
When I returned you were a statue
I put both of my arms around you
I cradled you to sleep, your eyes were rubies
