Sweet and somber pigeon wings

Can't we all recall when mama and papa

Were the sweet-toothed Christmas ball

A picturesque holiday family

Yeah of course I was small and I, all I knew was my grandpa

But i really didn't know him at all

I said,

My blood, my cousins, my calvalry

Yeah a piece of them gone but still I feel them strong

When i reach for David cause my Grandpa is gone

I shout out, I got love for the family

Yeah my mother is a doll and my brother can stop any brawl

But um, I pucker up "I'd like to kiss you all"

I said



But open your eyes, a new song cause the family is wrong

So don't lecture me, don't lecture me

But as far as i can see

A stepmom yeah the widow's palm is what's crushing me

And this family



It's beyond my time, yeah it's beyond my time
