letra de night on the beach - neverseen

circles and cycles and seasons
for everything there’s always reasons
but it’s never good
never turns out as it should
no one ever held you
no single moment of truth
but if you were mine
i’d look into your eyes
and said

i remember way back, maybe it was eighty nine
mom said our dad is leaving but for real this time
face down, blue chevy nova, real mascara streaks
he broke another promise, that he never meant to keep
like changing of the seasons, turn cold every six months
another reason why, i got issues around trust
straight to bed hungry, the screams keep me up
like a drug addiction ,doubt he could ever get enough
he stepped in as dad, a role he never had to be
always wanted freedom, but felt shackled by family
blamed it on me, or her, or anyone really
but the only one who held the master key was he
sleep, now awake, early sitting on the couch
“i’ve said this before but please hear me out”
we watched his eyes lift, and listened as his lips move
sat-rday morning bugs bunny on mute
same sentence shift, from good then back to bad mood
“it’s time for me to leave, but i’ll see you both soon
now go outside and play, as i pack and move away
but before i go, i better say my last words to her, okay?”
a silhouette of mom and dad in the back room
it’s time for bed, but it’s only two in the afternoon
we put our fear aside, and put our ears to the door
then scurry back to play, on the living room floor
we both were too young, and scared, to ask her what’s next
no words, she answered, silence
a disappointed smile, her eyes said it all
she opened the door, to the beginning of the next cycle
circles and cycles and seasons
for everything there’s always reasons
but it’s never good
never turns out as it should
no one ever held you
no single moment of truth
but if you were mine
i’d look into your eyes
and said

sitting at the dinner table, looking in the kitchen
see mom and dad, holding hands and kissing
took our confusion, traded it in for optimism
ignored his actions, pretended not to listen
dad chopping onions, mom softening a noodle
they acted out their love with food, the mood swings were brutal
table set for four, but only three sits down
dad slams the door, we look at mom, “ what now?”
i guess we’re too young, cause she never would explain
why smiles turn to shame, hope swirling down the drain
found a love, lost again, all in six hours
lesson: give a sh-t less, then you hold the power
she gets up in anger, and storms the garage
we don’t hear yelling, screams, just a barrage
of apologies, pleases, and one ‘oh jesus’s’
she comes back inside, once again defeated
she looks down at me, stomps her feet and screams
“this is not how woman are supposed to be treated!”
this lesson was taught to me, but it wasn’t learned
first girlfriend i had, yeah, she got burned
two years too long, but i couldn’t let go
of a sad relationship, my self esteem was low
i pushed her, and pulled her, in every which way
until i said, “we’re done, no wait, please stay”
we both were too young, and scared, to ask what’s next
no words, we answered, silence
a disappointed smile, her eyes said it all
she opened the door, to the beginning of the next cycle
