lyrics

A soft language barrier
The child of an immigrant
Before the Banh Mi trucks were cool
Lunch table embarrassment

That scene with the border guard
Last night on the continent
What was the view like knowing that you
Might never come back again

There are so many things
I should have said to you
Sometimes family trees cut cruel

What did you make of Tennessee
In 1988, all covered in snow
The winter my little brother was born
And we carried him up the hill to our home

I wish I had taken French
A little more seriously
I remember singing to you
When you were dying in St. Denis

There are so many things
I could have asked you then
Sometimes songs don’t get a nice end
