The Kids Are Alright

Let’s begin, time to talk it over
It’s the end and just a painful transition
It won’t take long to grab my stuff
Since you already packed it up
The kids are alright and I’ll see them on the weekends
I’m sure they’ll understand that you have a new boyfriend
The kids are alright
Dinner’s weird
Conversation is awkward
Empty bed
And it feels like an ocean
I saw you out the other day
But I don’t think that you saw me
And whatshisname must be real nice
It’s worth it just to see you smile
The kids are alright but they’re asking questions
“Do we still love them” and if it’s “their fault”
I try to reassure them as I tuck them in
The kids are alright
We’ll be alright

There’s a hole in my heart where you used to stay
Now you’ve gone away
I guess we’ve grown apart
Is it too late to start?
The pictures have been put away
But I still see your face
Bridges may be burning
The world will still keep turning
And though you’re gone, I’m moving on
But I still miss someone
All the plans we made…
There was never enough time in a day
Funny, though, how people change
Intentions may not be the same
I think about the time we spent
Remember every argument
No one’s completely innocent
I wonder “can we still be friends”
And though you’re gone, I’m moving on
But I still miss someone
And though you’re gone, I’m moving on
But I still miss someone
Yes, I still miss someone

The Enigmatic Foe Knoxville, Tennessee
With sharp lyrics, the playful pop bite of the best of the 70s and 80s, and the kind of self-deprecation usually reserved
for a Woody Allen movie, Jared Colinger's lyrics run the gamut from the joy of new love to disillusionment with the old, from wanting to like yourself to being afraid of what we have in our minds.
The new music coming in 2023.
