jam mechanics & the narcissist cookbook - over the mountains to santo domingo كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
i am seven years old playing catch with my father
in a baseball diamond in central havana
the crowds have all gone but the lights are left on while we play
and someone approaches, asks for his signature
he smiles and beckons me over
says “you can have mine, but his will be worth more one day”

[chorus]
this is the story he’s writing
a call to adventure and i am the hero
crossing the sea to haiti
and over the mountains to santa domingo
‘dreams around here are disloyal
thеy’ll run off and come true for somebody еlse’
well, i don’t know, dad, that’s a strange way to tell me to leave
and never come back

[verse 2]
i am 15 years old, i’ve just run the bases
and into the arms of my team’s celebration
and over their shoulders my dad’s beaming face in the crowd
the guys are geared up for an after_game rager
but one of dad’s contacts flew in from the majors
they pulled me aside to talk contracts and signing
[chorus]
and this is the story he’s writing
the dotted line i am expected to follow
over the sea to haiti
and over the mountains to santa domingo
‘dreams around here are impatient
they’ll leave you behind while you’re rushing to pack’
well, i don’t know, dad, that’s a strange way to tell me to leave
and never come back

[bridge]
you think i don’t wanna be all i can be with my whole heart?
you think i don’t wanna see every square inch of this world?
(ah)
(this world)
(ahh_ha)

[verse 3]
i am forty years old playing catch with my daughter
in a diamond we set up right in our back garden
her hand me down glove’s just a little to big for her hands
my neighbors are trying to figure out where
they recognize me from, “hey, weren’t you once someone,” and
i just say, “no, you must be thinking of my dad”

[chorus]
and this is the story we’re writing
me and my girl, we can be who we wanna be
you still come over on sundays
she runs for a hug when you park in the driveway
and sometimes when she’s fallen asleep
we play catch with no lights and no crowd
and i know, dad, that’s a strange way to say i forgive you
maybe one day i’ll say it out loud
