You spent most of your time
Trying to figure out what you would become
But why never who you are?
Always reaching for years to come
And for the farthest star
Home was never the haven that it should have been
You were too concerned with tomorrow
Why not focus on today?
And now look at you.
Where did time go? How did you get so old?
If only you had played kickball with your brother,
And sat and chatted with your mother,
Had a man's talk with your father,
But you didn't bother
And now they are gone
And you.
You're all alone.
You never knew your son the way
He wanted to be known.
And now--
Guess what? He has a family of his own.
"No, Dad. Can't tonight,"
It hurts exactly the same way.
And your wife barely knows you,
And your daughter-
She just loathes you

If only you had paid attention to your wife
Contemplated on this life
Went camping with your son,
Told your daughter she was someone
If only you had played kickball with your brother,
And sat and chatted with your mother,
Had a man's talk with your father,
But you didn't bother.
