Oh Father

Bittersweet lyrics

soothing melodies

the distinct and deep voices

of Vedder & Downie

They can make some days flow

They can inspire & distract

and help me search for a deeper understanding

I can feel those soothing melodies wrap around my body

Like the hug I so desperately need at times

But they can’t tell me the reason why

They can’t reassure me you felt no pain

They don’t know, no one knows

But I can trust you are there

Smiling

Laughing

Loving

I can trust the unknown, illusive reason

because it makes those Vedder-less days a little bit easier

It makes the Hip-less void calmer

when I can’t bring myself to press play.
