Like Child

I found the keys in the basket by the front door That ain't a hiding spot pops, that's a bad choice What you think, I would've walked right passed it And never put my hands into that little black basket I held them close so the metal wouldn't chop I've been caught red-handed about a million times But tonight smells different There's something about the cloud covering You ain't gonna hear me start it over loud thunder The ground rumbled as I pulled it out the drive Drove slow to the end of the block, turned on the lights I felt guilty for a second but it passed When I put it into second and gave it a little gas Stronger than anticipated, I was just a kid You never taught me how to turn and how to skid I held it tight until my knuckles turned red But eventually I drove it off the edge Like father, Like child Should of known how not to Oh, Why bother? Why try? All of my life, I've been watching you Oh, Like mother, Like child Should of known how not to Oh, Why cover? Why cry? All of my life I've been watching you You left your baggage in the street That ain't a hiding spot mama, I can still see it What you think I would've stepped right over it Instead of opening it, and hopes that you never noticing I picked it up and brought it out to the garage Picked the lock with a bobby pin and opened up the top I guess I never really knew what I saw Dug around a little bit and found some pictures of your mom So I closed it back up and I slid it under my bed Shoved it to the back where I could easily forget it Years passed and I don't think I ever thought of it It wasn't something that I thought I would be haunted with It's just a box what's the reason for the lock Why's it childhood the only thing that you don't want to talk about I guess I'll answer for myself when I'm grown And lock a couple boxes of my own Like father, Like child Should of known how not to Oh, Why bother? Why try? All of my life, I've been watching you Oh, Like mother, Like child Should of known how not to Oh, Why cover? Why cry? All of my life I've been watching you --- Like Child - Grieves
