"parent song" lyrics
Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler Lyrics
"parent song"
I might look a bit older now
But I'm still the same kid I've always been
Changed the color of my hair
But I still need you like I always did
My friends just finished college
And they're moving to the city where I live
So you might have to see me less
But it's nice to have somebody to miss
I'm so looking forward to vacation
Let's make up for everything I've missed
Ooh
I'm so sorry for the things I do
I hope it doesn't hurt your heart it's true
Go rest your mind 'cause I still need you too
You love those old photographs
That I swear you've shown me a thousand times
And usually I fake a laugh
While you're trying your hardest not to cry
We'll go walk the dogs at Winslow Park
'Cause Westport's perfect in the spring
And I'll swallow my pride and try
To tell you just how hard it's really been
Ooh
I'm so sorry for the things I do
I hope it doesn't hurt your heart it's true
Go rest your mind 'cause I still need you too
Hey
There's nowhere else I'd rather spend my day
I love you, I know sometimes I don't say
'Cause I know everything will be okay
Be okay
You keep calling just to say you miss me
Never know what I'm supposed to say
I'm so sick and tired of the city
I need an excuse to get away
Can't believe it's already September
Summer wasn't easy to enjoy
Don't think I can make it to November
I just really need to hear your voice
Ooh
I'm so sorry for the things I do
I hope it doesn't hurt your heart it's true
Go rest your mind 'cause I still need you too
I still need you too
Hey
There's nowhere else I'd rather spend my day
I love you, I know sometimes I don't say
'Cause I know everything will be okay
Be okay

Jeremy Zucker about the meaning of this song: "You're an adult, and a lot of times your parents don't really see you as an adult. You're struggling to express how much it doesn't mean that you love your parents any less, but that you don't want to spend every second with them."
According to Apple Music,
Chelsea Cutler explained the inspiration behind "Parent Song" as such,
"This song is really just about the ways that our relationships with our parents change. I know the last two or three years for me, being fortunate enough to start a career early and gain a little bit more independence early on has created a really interesting shift in the dynamic of my own relationship with my parents."

Quinn XCII - "FFYL" You say we had it all
That shit would drive me crazy
Cause outside, outside
There's no feelings baby
You say it's hard to tell
What I've been thinking lately
But behind closed doors
I'm a fool for...
The Vamps - "Missing You" I've had space and time
To realize the grass ain't greener
And I kinda miss my side
Know I shoulda listened

But I don't care no more

And you can wear...

Poured rain
All over my sunny
Someday
This will all be funny
We were
Cocaine
Playing milk and honey
Dysfunctional
I was a junkie
Someday
This will all be funny
I know...
