Modigliani

[00:00.35]"Loving father, friend, and son"
[00:04.63]Printed backwards on my shoulder blade
[00:08.92]From leaning back on a plaque on a bench
[00:13.19]I carry David's name until it fades
[00:18.45]Why does it feel significant?
[00:21.23]Why do I have to tell you about it?
[00:25.87]
[00:27.10]Trying to fall asleep, back flat on the floor
[00:30.77]While you are eating continental breakfast in Singapore
[00:35.80]You make me homesick for places I've never been before
[00:40.34]How'd you do that? How's tomorrow so far?
[00:45.01]
[00:53.08]Meeting your family was a trip, seeing what you got from them
[00:58.03]For better or worse, a blessing and a curse
[01:01.79]You don't need to love them, but you do
[01:04.13]You can take off a year or two
[01:06.34]We'll all be here when you get back
[01:10.64]When you told me 'bout your new man, it wasn't news
[01:14.73]'Cause you've got all these mannerisms that you never do
[01:18.56]Like rolling your eyes and laughing real dry
[01:22.38]Like you were trying him on for size
[01:27.33]And even if it doesn't fit, you'll wear it
[01:31.55]'Cause if it's what you want, you're gonna get it
[01:34.45]
[01:44.90]I've heard this anecdote at least a dozen times
[01:48.64]Yeah, I know every word and inflection as if it were mine
[01:53.59]I like watching you win over a new crowd
[01:57.26]You can make 'em go wild, you can leave 'em spellbound
[02:01.59]
[02:01.59]But you will never be famous to me
[02:15.00]You will never be famous to me
[02:24.95]
[02:28.44]I should know my neighbors' names
[02:30.65]I should not stay up so late
[02:32.66]Modigliani melancholy got me long in the face
[02:37.03]But I feel better when you call just to tell me how you are
[02:41.44]How'd you do that? How's tomorrow so far?
[02:45.59]You make me homesick for places I've never been before
[02:50.06]How'd you do that? How's tomorrow so far?
