Lyrics

Shimmer

Father, father
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
My arms are here
My arms are here for you

You took me fishing when I was eight
Went to June Lake, came face-to-face
With my future and a deer in the woods
Those times, so gone, so good, yeah
Those times, so gone, so good, oh-oh (So good)

I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel
I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel like that

Father, father
Come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home
My arms are here
My arms are here for you

I thought I was separate from nature
Now I know otherwise
I might live long enough to see myself
Dying without a child, I
I see myself in you, I (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I see myself in you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel
I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel like that, oh-oh

I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel
I never want to feel like that
I never want to feel like that
Talk to me

I never want to feel like that (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I never want to feel like that (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I never want to feel like that (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I never want to feel (Yeah-yeah)
I never want to feel like that (Yeah-yeah)
I never want to feel like that, oh-oh

I'll wake up, I'm sorry, memorize, apologize
It's alright, yeah, that's how this goes
I read that somewhere, something you wrote me
Years ago
If you look deeper, see my face through the speakers
"It's magic," that's what you said
Remember when I left you crying?
Years ago
