Mama’s Boy

Don’t we all
Get older and forget till we remember
In the middle of the night what mama said
It’s not so easy to be kind these days, but I try for her
And though she’ll never know it, I am mama’s through and through
It never stops
Trust me, I’ve tried

Oh the days that I cannot
Go outside until we’ve talked
And I am calm and not the worst off as I’d thought
Ah

Yeah, mama tell me one thing
Some family, a familial thing
I don’t know what is inside of me
This blasted curiosity won’t stop
Do you sit around before you sleep and rot?
When does it stop?

Oh the days that I cannot
Go outside until we’ve talked
And I am calm and not the worst off as I’d thought
Ah

Are you like me, do you believe
Grown up and talking in our sleep
I hear you through my pillow
When I’m alone in the street
Are you like me, would you believe
I am something you can’t see quite yet
I’ll sleepwalk cross the country
To your bedroom, by your bed
I will point out all the things you cannot see quite yet
Saying “See?
I’m still walking in my sleep”
Mama’s boy
Mama’s baby
