Don t Call Me Uncle - Adam Green

Cul-de-sac - The Wonder Years
.
I've been leaving messages on an answering machine
In a house that's always empty, so I know nobody's listening.
I've been confessing my transgressions over tape hiss
And the silence makes me sick.
No good can come from this.
.
I'm letting go.
I've been holding on like poison ivy
Out of cold suburban concrete
From this careless urban sprawl.
I'm letting go.
You know we can't keep out of trouble.
I thought my kids would call you uncle.
I thought we'd never be alone.
.
I've got images of you inside my head
Outside of the gas station where we always used to shoplift.
It's car-crash rhetoric.
We f*cked up everything we came in contact with.
Just boyhood recklessness.
.
I'm letting go.
I've been holding on like poison ivy
Out of cold suburban concrete
From this careless urban sprawl.
I'm letting go.
