ROLE MODEL - Writing's On The Wall (live on Austin City Limits)

 ROLE MODEL -  Writing's On The Wall

 Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen 
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
 
Head out the window
Sweat on the pillow
It's been keeping me up at night
Guess this is what love feels like all right
 
Seems like your shoulder
Keeps getting colder
But babe I was raised in the cold
Wish I could do what I'm told
Oh, now
 
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right 
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice 
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read 
You’re forgetting me
 
Losing my patience
Confusing the waitress
And asking her way too much
Like why am I still in love?
 
With somebody who leaves me
Way too easy
She said honey you’ll be alright
But she gets paid to be nice
Oh hell
 
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen 
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
 
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right 
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice 
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read 
You’re forgetting me
 
Ooh you’re forgetting me
Ooh you’re forgetting me
 
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
Ooh you’re forgetting me
 
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right 
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice 
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read 
You’re forgetting me
