[Lincoln]
Run away from home
Ignore your mother's screams and leave today
You should've done this years ago
Why are you still at home?
Shoving down all the things you need to say?
Suffering for no reason
A lonely son
I've wasted my life
Writing at night
Driving by day
But now it's clear
Year after year
Long as I'm here
It's safe to say I'll never
Be the son that you wanted
Or even the son you accepted
So that's gonna be how we left it?
You screaming at me?
And me walking out
So I'm out
Out of ways to make you happy
I'm running out
Yes I'm out
I don't know it's time to go
And I love you but you'll never see me
The way I see myself when I'm alone
With a notebook and a microphone
When I write a song
I am somewhere miles beyond this place
Everything feels electric, connected
When I write a song
I imagine you nodding your head in time
Listening the way you listen to your boleros
I wanted to cry
When you stood by me and you handed me
Your keys
Lincoln, take these
I couldn't breathe
I never cease to let you down
I'll never live
Up to your expectations
So this is the situation
You're getting upset
And I'm getting out
I am out
Out of patience with this family
I'm running out
Yes I'm out
And it's time, it's way past time
After 24 years of only hearing you
Shout
It's crystal clear
You don't know what I'm about
So Mami, Nina
Sorry, see ya
Please, no crying allowed
I'll be back
When I've made you proud
Peace and I'm out!
