Mama

Mama

I’ve been trying to find my place

I’m looking for your sweet embrace 

Cuz nothing ever feels the same


You always listened to my mix tapes

Back when I was in the tenth grade

You always paid attention when I would play it again 

Play it again 

You are my original rockstar Remember sitting in the backyard?

While you jammed out to 

Stevie Nicks and Carole King and Sheryl Crow 


I’m telling you

Mama

Well I’m sorry for the way

You always tend to take the blame

For everything I can’t explain

Mama

I’ve been trying to find my place 

I’m looking for your sweet embrace

Cuz nothing ever feels the same 


There’s nothing I can do 

Nothing I can do 

To keep away from you 

Keep away from you 

There’s nothing I can do 

Nothing I can do 

I’d stop the world to be back home with you 


And I don’t ever want to wake up 

Suddenly realize that you’re gone 

Wish I could hear the things that you say

Oh won’t you tell me again 

Tell me again 

You are a true expert on baseball 

You’re always spilling things in your car 

Yeah you showed me that keeping up with the Joneses is the worst diagnosis


I’m telling you

Mama

Well I’m sorry for the way

You always tend to take the blame

For everything I can’t explain

Mama

I’ve been trying to find my place 

I’m looking for your sweet embrace

Cuz nothing ever feels the same 


There’s nothing I can do 

Nothing I can do 

To keep away from you 

Keep away from you 

There’s nothing I can do 

Nothing I can do 

I’d stop the world to be back home with you 


To be back home 

to be back home with you


to be back home 

to be back home 

I’d stop the world to be back home with you
