"hi dad, how's the weather?" lyrics

Hi Dad
How's the weather?
In the town where broken people go
Regret the past together

I'm kinda sad
But getting better
You should see how cool my daughter is
It's a shame you've never met her

I sent some cash in late December
'Cause I know that you'd be lonely and prefer that to a letter

I'm mending now
Despite the fractures
And in spite of, or thanks to, alcohol
I think I found an answer

I'll be my own father
Be my own mama
Be my own
Jesus Christ

I'll be for my daughter
Something real, father
Don't you worry
I will make this right
I will make this right
I will make this right

Hi dear
Thanks for dinner
I apologize for all the lies
That caused our lives to splinter

I'm still the same
But slightly different
I'm the version of myself
That I have found is inconsistent

As I seek in men
A kind of father
Some projection of a phantom
From my heart that dares to bother

I blame the part of me that's bitter
All consumed by all that I consume or simply won't consider

I'll be my own father
Be my own mama
Be my own
Jesus Christ

I'll be for my daughter
Something real, father
Don't you worry
I will make this right

I will make this right
I will make this right
I will make this right
