Jacob Lyrics - Jackopierce

Jacob's a fine boy 

But his parents don't get along 

They hardly talk, when they do 

Thinks he's done something wrong 

He heard all the screaming 

As he lay down to bed 

He should have been sleeping 

But he listened instead 

They say, "He's fine, it's not his fault 

Between the lines he somehow got caught 

And in our game it's more like war 

I just don't think I love you anymore" 

He picked up the phone 

His tears touched the receiver 

His grandmother answered 

Down in Tempe 

He told her the story 

That his daddy was leaving 

She tried to convince him 

It was nothing he'd done 

She said, "You're fine, it's not your fault 

Between the lines, you somehow got caught" 

And in their game it sounds more like war 

I just don't think she loves him anymore 

Jacob's a father 

And his kids are in teens 

He's done what he could 

To make meager ends meet 

When it comes down to family 

It's the primary goal 

To keep the thing working 

No matter the toll 

His sons heard them screaming 

About something he said 

He opened the door 

And invited them in 

He said, "Now sons, it's not your fault 

Between the lines you somehow got caught 

So when you're hurt, you lean on the crutch 

But I still love your mother very much" 

He said, "Now sons, it's not your fault 

Between the lines you somehow got caught 

So when you're hurt, you lean on the crutch 

But I still love your mother very much" 

When you're hurt 

Lean to me
