Modern Family

Backstory: Anyone out there know anything about joint custody? This song came to me when I was lying in bed feeling sick the night before my boys were leaving for their dad’s house. Realizing for the first time that the emotions and body feelings I experience when my boys are getting ready to leave for their dad’s for two weeks, is a complicated mash-up... not right or wrong, just real. And cyclic... every two weeks.... 

Verse 1:     
Don’t get me wrong… I know you’re well adjusted,  
changes in your life make you adaptable 
Don’t get me wrong… I know you’re torn between 
the ghosts who made you and the clay you’re shaping now. 

Pre:             
When you go I’m left holding feelings 
aching, pining, void…  
Sinking deep, knowing that you’re going  
and I won’t see you for so long 

Chorus:                 
We had to let it go 
Out of our control 
Never the same..somethings lost, somethings gained 
Modern Family 
     
Verse 2:     
A marriage done… yeah I made the right decision  
and I wouldn’t want to be there like that again 
Swallowed hard… The pill not as bitter 
and the poison washed away by time and endless tears 

Pre:             
When you go I’m left holding feelings 
aching, pining, void…  
Sinking deep, knowing that you’re going  
and I won’t see your love for so long  

Chorus:                 
We had to let it go 
Out of our control 
Never the same..somethings lost, somethings gained 
Modern Family 

Instrumental Verse,Pre 

Verse 3:     
Don’t get me wrong… I can see into the future 
and it’s clearly bright shining to pull you through 
Time moves all… You know it’s kinda cosmic  
How we get a second chance to share this life of ours 

Pre:             
And yet this longing aching feeling  
Sinking in my body when it’s getting close 
The night before you go I’m so restless  
Tie the loose ends and let you go 
         
Chorus:                 
We had to let it go 
Out of our control 
Never the same..somethings lost, somethings gained 
Modern Family 

We had to let it go 
Out of our control 
Never the same..somethings lost, somethings gained 
Modern Family
