Day by day, I've realized
Bit by bit, I've realized
I'm like a Grinch that was washed away
I'm like a bridge that was washed away
I'm like a bitch that has washed away
I'm like a bridge that has washed away
In my butterflies
In my father's eyes
Just a joyride on the run
Just a toe rag on the run
Just a toe ride on the run
Just a toe rag on the run
Looking for my paradise
Looking through my father's eyes.
Looking through my fall design.
Looking through my father's eyes.
My father dies
My father's eyes
My foundations were made in May
My foundations were made of clay
Not for his mind
My father's eyes
Step by step, I realized
Bit by bit, I realized
Through the distant clouds of teeth
Through the distant clouds of tears
When Dad gets at your beers
Through the distant clouds of tears
When the jagged edge appears
Through the distant clouds of tears
When I look in my farmer's eyes
When I look in my father's eyes
McDonald’s fries
my father’s eyes
