July Talk - Certain Father Lyrics



July Talk - Certain Father Lyrics
Official




[ Featuring Spencer Krug ]

I could see it in her face
A hit and run
Under an ocean sun
She thought I knew he was not the only one

A purist's mind in judgement's a funny thing
Don't need to try when the ice gets thin
I just sigh and hold it in

Said she wanted all of something (you can)
Overlooked, he feels forgotten (hear it)
Up the river, screaming profane, he says

Closer (closer) certain (certain) father (father)
Feel the (feel the) stillness (stillness) dying (dying)
River (river) current (current) lying (lying)
Screaming (screaming) coward (coward)
It was a hit and run

Can't take his place, he's a setting sun
Under the gun he'll try to prove he's not the lonely one
Father shows his teeth when he's on the run
Don't need to lie when you just pretend it was never your intent

Sinking deeper, manic creature (you can)
A hollow trope, an empty preacher (hear it)
Squirming falling you can hear it whisper

Closer (closer) certain (certain) father (father)
You feel the (feel the) stillness (stillness) dying (dying)
River (river) current (current) lying (lying)
Screaming (screaming) coward (coward)
It was a hit and run

As I try
Was a hit and run
As I try to compromise
You can hear it (to compromise)

(Closer certain father)
Crying naked (closer certain father)
I begin to (closer certain father)
Let the water win (closer certain father)
'Cause I can't hold you in

He's a setting sun
You're not the only one
