lyrics

You can tell by the look in my eyes
That I've been up all night
Next to my beautiful wife
Counting the ways we could fuck up your life

We'll get it right we'll get it wrong
Our time's too short and our days too long
But when I feel your fingers in my palm
I wanna squeeze away the guns and the bombs

Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man
Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man

Now here we lay just a tangle of limbs
Sending hearts across bridges of skin
Don't know where you end and I begin
Just can't die till I watch you live

Soon these days will feel so rare
Soon I'll just be grasping at air
And as I tell you life is unfair
I reach out and find your fingers there

Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man
Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man

Oh God it's the morning sun
I count the reasons I'm already done
I count your fingers with my thumb
You grip harder and my heart goes bum bum bum bum

Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man
Instantly I know the weight of your hand
That's how I know I'm a family man
