Paroles de Silver Spoon

I'll watch and learn from afar I'll pull the weeds from my heart and Put lipstick on for your family party In the garden I stare at the house you were brought up in All the photographs and door frames are wooden I wish I'd known you when you were younger Before lovers 'Cause I've changed my accent And I gave a false name I hope I throw a party In a house of my own someday When you were a kid You'd come in through the back gate Your folks left a light on In case you get home late and I bet you grew up eating at the table Fed love from silver spoons, reasons to be grateful You ask about kids, I don't know if I'm able I bet you grew up being asked how your day was I bet you grew up grazing your knees But the fall wasn't fatal like it was for me We're the product of love that we do not receive I'll corrupt every branch of this family tree I spilt the good wine, I panicked A disaster, a knee-jerk reaction Then everyone around us starts laughing Is that how it's meant to happen? Oh, your mother said I'm always welcome To visit, to take second helpings I said, "No, thanks" , I'm so full on resentment That I learned to fend for myself, but You were sweet, I got mean And when we fight, I refuse to eat You're sensible, I'm hating it What a good job that your mother did, oh You were kind, I was cruel In another life, maybe I was you And I grew up into something good Somebody who could swallow love I bet you grew up eating at the table Fed love from silver spoons, reasons to be grateful You ask about kids, I don't know if I'm able I bet you grew up being asked how your day was I bet you grew up grazing your knees But the fall wasn't fatal like it was for me We're the product of love that we do not receive I'll corrupt every branch of this family tree Silver spoons and butter knives Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by Your love is spreading thin But my medicine goes down alright Silver spoons and butter knives Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by Your love is spreading thin But my medicine goes down alright Silver spoons and butter knives Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by Your love is spreading thin But my medicine goes down alright Silver spoons and butter knives Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by Just feed me love and give it time Oh, maybe in another life
