i am my father's daughter
but you aren't your father's son

i am she
destined to flee
same as he
destined to be
in this small town
with little rocks
where little boys
in dirty socks
hide their love behind mountains

you ain't he
-just afraid to be
is it tempting?
now that you understand?
now that you have a heart
of a full grown man?

this is why we need each other

daddy's walkin'
this time for good
the difference is i follow him
the difference is you don't
the significance is
i stalk him
no closer than in his shadow
the significance is you
took one last look
then walked firmly in the opposite direction
right up to me. . .

we forgot about anyone else
that ever loved us
and everyone else
that never did

you know, we can leave, too
it'd be so easy
forget this enclosed space
your lover's brace
scratch the story
don't leave a trace
the perfect scheme
you and me
fighting, touching, loving, hating,
biting, laughing, i'm laughing at you
you love this chase
our quarrel's theme
i hate to be so disruptive
this past year's been so productive
but so seductive
we're self-destructive creatures of the night before
can't you face
your longest dream?

let's go where no is watching
and i can kiss you as long as i'd like
you have your wants-wait, reasons (obligations) to stay
but you don't have to prove yourself
i know you better than that
i know
you ain't your father's son
i love you

i'm leaving
i am my father's daughter
