Still Their Kid

October's takin' a walk with me I needed it, I needed it I'm leaving you when you're on your knees I needed it, I needed it My backpack's full and I'm up Main Street I needed it, I needed it A job I hate so I can party and eat I needed it, I needed it Second date on the edge of my seat I realize I think he's kinda listenin' to me They've played the same song three times in a row now I'm thinkin bout our history on Huguenot Street It's muddy fuckin' waters ahead of me It's hard to believe anyone could settle down They must, though, my parents did I'm 20 and I'm still their kid I'm 20 and I'm still their kid Long walks bumping right into me I'll take a hint, I'll take a hint It's raining, my mind's changing, hold the door for me Two weeks ago I coulda never known But in that there's something ephemeral Never been here before Acting appalled, opening doors This one's open This one's open Second week of living chapter three I know his worst fears are coming out of me They've played the same song three times in a row, though I'm thinkin bout the fact that you're now history I'm my father's daughter but I'm much less sturdy It's hard to believe that we have to let it go We must, though, my parents did And they survived, I can prove it We must though My parents did I'm twenty and I'm still their kid
