Wounded Healer (Deer Tick sample) Songtext
von Watsky

This is called "Wounded Healer"
His footprints are fading away from the beach
We′re not a family to pray or to preach
But daddy's best friend took a handful of pills
And now he′s at a podium making a speech
Yesterday night after dark
He carefully wrote his remarks
But everyone said what he put on his page
So he threw it way and went straight from the heart
I thought this was a party
But all my friends are leaving
And I still want to play (woah woah)
You wrecked me when you stepped out
Cause you're the wounded healer
And you're supposed to stay
Woah woah
A year′s a bottle in a bucket of trash It′ll tip over the more that it stacks
Didn't notice it till now
But dad′s been moving slower every time we play go play catch
I'm scared of the day when he′ll carry a cane
I carry his dream
I carry his name
And when papa is gone he will never be gone
Because the sound of our sneeze is the same
So God bless I hear your voice in mine, and I
Wanna stop time, like a
Carnival ride, because
I don't know what I′m saying but I mean it
I don't know what I'm saying but I mean it
I don′t know what I′m saying but I mean it
I don't know what I′m saying but I mean it, I mean it
I thought this was a party


I thought this was a party
But all my friends are leaving
And I still want to play, woah woah
You wrecked me when you stepped out
Cause you're the wounded healer
And you′re supposed to stay
Woah woah
