First your parents, they give you your life, but then they try to give you their life

While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.

Your folks are like God because you want to know they're out there and you want them to approve of your life, still you only call them when you're in a crisis and need something.

Parents are like God because you wanna know they're out there, and you want them to think well of you, but you really only call when you need something.

Isn't a kid alive who doesn't dream about rewarding her folks, or punishing them.

At the time, my life just seemed too complete, and maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves.
