J&L

Standing in the back of a delivery room

Watching the love of your life go under

Your old man had plans and never visited you

Now, you wonder how you'll ever be a father

And when I was fifteeen, you were fifty-five

And I got tall and we never saw eye to eye

Now that I'm older, I got empathy

And you look like the man that I'm gonna be

Did I grow up into someone that you like?

I know the people you learned from told you it was all black and white

Things that were shaping you, things that are shaping me

And we both know you can't run from family

And would we have been friends if we were born at the same time?

Maybe in another life

On your way home from the delivery room

Holding the love of your life in a bundle

You were the invisible kid from a litter of six

Your dream was just to be a mother

And when I was fifteen, you told me everything

A whole bunch of heavy ** that I couldn't process

Now that I'm older, I got empathy

You were trying like Hell to connect with me

Did I grow up into someone that you like?

I know the people you learned from told you it was all black and white

Things that were shaping you, things that are shaping me

And we both know you can't run from family

And would we have been friends if we were born at the same time?

Maybe in another life

We could go out sometime

Watch a game, get a burger and fries

Get high, I'd smoke you out

Maybe in another life

I could be some guy that you lean on when you're having doubts

Would I grow up into someone that you like?

I know the people you learned from told you it was all black and white

Things that were shaping you, now they're shaping me

And I'm so glad we're family

And would we have been friends if we were born at the same time?

Maybe in another life
