Lyrics
| lyrics  = Father's hands are lined with dirt From long days in the field And mother's hands are serving meals In a café on Main Street

With mouths to feed Just tryna keep clothing on our backs And all I hear about Is how it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's too bad Too late, so wrong, so long It's too bad that we had no time to rewind Let's walk, let's talk (Let's talk)

You left without saying goodbye Although I'm sure you tried You call the house from time to time To make sure we're alive

But you weren't there Right when I needed you the most And now I dream about it And how it's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's too bad Too late, so wrong, so long And too bad that we had no time to rewind Let's walk, let's talk

It's so bad, it's too bad It's too bad, it's too late, so wrong, so long Too bad that we had no time to rewind Let's walk, let's talk (Let's talk)

Father's hands are lined with guilt (Guilt) For tearing us apart Guess it turned out in the end Just look at where we are

We made it out We still got clothing on our backs And now I scream about it And how it's so bad, it's so bad It's so bad, it's so bad

It's too bad, it's too bad Too late, so wrong, so long It's too bad that we had no time to rewind Let's walk, let's talk

It's so bad, it's too bad It's too bad, it's too late, so wrong, so long It's too bad that we had no time to rewind Let's walk, let's talk

(No time, last one, let's go)
