Lyrics & Translation

[English]

right now guess I should have given

Jennifer Hong the ability to buy physics

garbage

Jessica why'd you run off with the boys

I stole your idea I'm taking them on a

fake book tour it's going well

tomorrow we tackle the Panhandle Jessica

what's going on I don't want the boys to

find out about my book respect me again

that's ridiculous

is it you said yourself they learn from

watching us if they see my book as the

dud you know what they learn that their

mom is a failure just because the book

that insel doesn't mean you are a

failure but you can't hide this it's

just as important for the boys to see

how you deal with the loss as it is to

see you succeed it's just I've never

failed like this before in my life I

know but I failed hundreds of times and

you were always there for me let me be

there for you

you have failed a lot building your own

dirt bike beekeeping Cattleman's in a

cup yeah banjo top hat Louis for me you

and breakdance crew okay let's go tell

the boys I'm just gonna finish this

chapter

no boys your mother has something she

needs to tell you about her book

sometimes you forget how stupid the rest

of the world is like how all anybody

cares about is whether some snotty

British boy can fly and Eddie what's

wrong

I never said about Nicole and she leaves

in an hour

and now we're here on this boat tour I

messed up

book tour is canceled we're going home

so I didn't get seen Nicole sweet yes

you're not gonna tell them I will later

the pipe our son needs us one thing I

can't ever fail is our boys Oh

how about a heads up
