Lyric:
Granny, why do you live so far away?
I never really know just what to say
I never really wanted it to be this way
“These are the only cards I have to play”
A false conversation that plays in my mind
Of a family that isn’t, history ain’t kind
Granny, why can’t I just talk to you?
It’s not my decision; I’d never do that, boo
There is a middleman who I cannot get through
With terms and conditions for me to imbue
Though touting a battle cry of unconditional love
Still keeping me away, steel hand in velvet glove
Granny, why won’t you live with us?
Sweetie, there isn’t enough trust
The connections long corroded in rust
Sweetie, we all do what we must
Granny, will it change for us someday?
Once I prayed for it every day
But I don’t know, and I cannot say
Likely not, so long as history is in the way
I love you all still, though from so many miles away
And I ever will, even if that’s all I can ever say
I love you all still, though from so many miles away
And I ever will, even if that’s all I can ever say
