Kai Undrell - Can of Worms lyrics

Once you had a world in the creases of your boyish hand You didn't need any friends at all you were the solo in a one-man band Your Father worked a simple welding job at a factory way off outta sight But your Mother ran off in his direction she never came back to kiss you goodnight And she said don't go opening this can of worms 'cause it's all too much for you to take And you said Momma don't you leave us it's much too late I'd like you here when I wake is romance really all this fake? I'd like you here when I wake When you met a girl at that party at your best friend's house The questions didn't take you long at all but face-to-face you were a quiet mouse Fifteen years later down the line with your children standing by the door As their Mother made an exit never coming back she left you standing there with nothing more She said don't go opening this can of worms 'cause it's all too much for you to take And you said Honey don't you leave us it's much too late I'd like you here when I wake is romance really all this fake? I'd like you here when I wake When you'd seen it all laying colder than a sunken wreck Empty bottles on the table that you've gone necked back and a criss-cross tie around your neck And you wrote don't go opening this can of worms 'cause it's all too much for you to take So don't go running 'round in circles now it's much too late I'd like you here when I wake hoping you don't curl up and break I'd like you here when I wake
