Telescope Lyrics - Dawes

He watched the Bronco leave the driveway 

The day after he turned ten 

His dad said the van's booked up through Sunday 

Ricky never saw him again 

His mother made excuses 

His brother got his wish 

Ricky just stared at the posters in his bedroom 

And started talkin' to his fish 

And whenever he finally could untie these knots 

He didn't get too far

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The stronger the telescope 

The more stars there are 

There were reports within the family 

There were rumors at his school 

Deadbeat dad got stuck in Calgary 

Cleanin' swimmin' pools 

But Ricky had some questions 

He couldn't get it through his head 

How a father so drunk on his own destiny 

Could end up like this instead? 

The boy could feel himself get older 

With each shot in the dark 

The stronger the telescope 

The more stars there are 

The stronger the telescope 

The more stars there are 

Photos 

Now Ricky's in a trailer outside Albany 

He spends all his nights alone 

With a penchant for conspiracy 

And his take on methadone 

But he hasn't been forgotten 

His hometown speculates 

If the world had just got to him too early 

Or if it got to him too late 

And the more time they give each explanation 

The more it comes apart 

The stronger the telescope 

The more stars there are 

The stronger the telescope 

The more stars there are 

The more stars there are 

The more stars there are
