dear mom, Video (MV)

Dear Mom, I'm crying now
How am I supposed to grow up without you around

Dear Mom, I've been driving now
I'm seventeen with a head full of steam
Pissed like a bull at this whole damn machine

I think about you on the quiet roads once in a while
When I'm going too fast and burning gas
Like it's going out of style

Dear Mom, I've been getting high now
Trying to find my way out of this soul sucking town
And I know it ain't right
But sometimes it seems like the only thing to get me off the ground

And dear Mom, I'm pining now
There's a girl across town and I think I love her
She's got those shy vandal eyes
And a smile like no other I have ever seen

It kills me that you can't meet her
But I swear I'll do my goddamn best to treat her
Like you always said I should

And dear Mom, I've been walking down the beach
You know those Nags Head stars are still such a sight to see
And I can't help but hoping you're walking with me tonight

And dear Mom, I'm crying now
Wish I could hug you and talk about all the things
I've seen around in this old world

And dear Mom, I'm so happy now
And I know you'd be here crying
If you could only see the smile on my face

And dear Mom, I wish I could hear the sound
Of you saying you finally found peace
Telling me you love me and that I'll see you again
