Alex Cameron Stepdad Lyrics

And now that you know why I'm leavin'
And your mum's
Yelling out
That she hopes
I don't come back
Of course she would say that

Don't forget what I told you about your demons
They're just thoughts
In your head
While you sleep
No more than that
Now fetch my duffel bag

If my ride ain't here then it's coming
I can feel it not so far away
And I know you're angry, young'in
Dry your eyes up
Or you won't see
Big dog walking away

Now if you think I'm chasing the seasons
Like a [?] is some place to be
I'm your stepdad

And I know they say I'm scheming or leaving
Dreaming my life away

But if you see my name in the headlines
And they're all pissing on me
I'm your stepdad

And I know they say I'm frail and broken
But you can't treat your mom that way

I'll tell you how I got to Memphis
Saw your mom
On a TV show
And that was that
Both my bags were packed

I could put you to sleep
Just by reading
Turn the living room
Into an avalanche
I love to make you laugh

If the paps ain't here
Then they're coming
I can hear their flashes blast away

And I know you're tired, young'in
Time to wise up
Or you won't see
What your dad does for pay

Now if you think I'm chasing the seasons
Like a [?] is some place to be
I'm your stepdad

And I know they say I'm scheming or leaving
Dreaming my life away

But if you see my name in the headlines
And they're all pissing on me
I'm your stepdad

And I know they say I'm frail and broken
But you can't treat your mom that way
