Father & Son Lyrics - Fiona Apple

It's not time to make a change 

Just relax, and take it easy 

You're still young, that's your fault 

There's so much you have to know 

Find a girl, settle down 

If you want you can marry 

Look at me, I am old 

But I'm happy 

I was once like you are now 

And I know that it's not easy 

To be calm when you've found 

Something going on 

But take your time, think a lot 

Why, think of everything you've got 

For you will still be here tomorrow 

But your dreams may not 

How can I try to explain 

When I do, he turns away again 

It's always been the same 

The same old story 

From the moment I could talk 

I was ordered to listen 

There's a way and I know that I have to go away 

I know I have to go 

It's not time to make a change 

Just sit down, and take it slowly 

You're still young, that's your fault 

There's so much you have to go through 

Find a girl, settle down 

If you want you can marry 

Look at me, I am old 

But I'm happy 

All the times that I cried 

Keeping all the things I knew inside 

It's hard, but it's harder 

To ignore it 

If they were right, I'd agree 

But it's them you know not me 

There's a way and I know that I have to go away 

I know I have to go
