Fictional State

I was not the problem like you were not the cause
 We're sinking on a ship we said we'd jump two weeks before
 And I'll admit my subsequent words had no force
 I had every intention just to leave you at the door
 My mundane future was tugging at my sleeve
 Of babies and changings and midnight feeds
 If every father in the world thought the same as me
 What a state, what a state, what a state...
 There's no hole in my head
 Accusation: I just ain't the family type
 Falling short and you've got better plans
 Escape artist and you just undermine
 It was causing an effect
 You said you'd kill it, you haven't yet
 Staring at a bed we shared as friends
 And you stop smoking just to try for a while
 While I provoke your nicotine habit, a habit
 Standing holding hands just as friends there's no love
 With no love this world would surely end
 The world's end is no place to start life, we'd start a trend
 And I could not forgive you for that
 What a state
 What a state...
 What a state
 Why don't you stay?
 There's no hole in my head
 Accusation: I just ain't the family type
 Falling short and you've got better plans
 Escape artist and you just undermine
 Your father tried to knock some sense into me
 He goes, "After all, a man is just a man"
 As I recall he thumped your mom bloody hardy and bloody hung
 Parenthood was a belt buckle to him
 What a state
 Why don't you stay?
 What a state
 Why don't you stay?
 What a state
 Why don't you stay?
 What a state
 Why don't you stay... oh...
 There's no hole in my head
 Accusation: I just ain't the family type
 Falling short and you've got better plans
 Escape artist and you just undermine
 There's no hole in my head
 Accusation: I just ain't the family type
 Falling short and you've got better plans
 Escape artist and you just undermine
