Prodigal Son - Alan Power

Over and over and overrated

Everywhere I go I feel so suffocated

I’m the life and soul of nothing at all

I woke up to a detailed message from my future self-

Obsessed, I’m confined to my room

A full length mirror on repeat the same tune

I smoke a cigarette, I quit, if only I could

Man I hate the feeling of feeling misunder-

Stood by me through the thick and the thin

My dreams-come-true girl, where the hell have you been?

I’ve been trying to catch your eye for what feels like a lifetime

You know I’d do just about anything to get you to be mine-

Oh my, how I hate to see you cry

The man in the mirror, don’t you just hate that guy?

It didn’t take much for you to fall under my spell

But up until then you’d never seen karaoke sung well

You wanted a hero, well here I come

I’m the prodigal son

And I’m down for some good old fashioned fun

Zero to hero, I’ll be the one

I’m the prodigal son

And no I’m not for just anyone

The sun beats down, I’m a shadow on the wall

Your sugar got me feeling like I’m 10 feet tall

I am the life and soul, a shark in a goldfish bowl

I gotta get out of this godforsaken-

Hold up baby can I talk to you?

You said that you were leaving, you said that we were through

I’m all cut up and jaded won’t you let me come inside

I got nowhere to run and I got nowhere to-

Hide, my baby, she’s left me and gone

I got a DM saying that I came on too strong

I am the high priest of heartbreak, now it’s all in the past

Still I slash your name across my chest with a broken piece of glass

You wanted a hero, well here I come

I’m the prodigal son

And I’m down for some good old fashioned fun

Zero to hero, I’ll be the one

I’m the prodigal son

And no I’m not for just anyone

You wanted a hero, well here I come

I’m the prodigal son

And I’m down for some good old fashioned fun

Zero to hero, I’ll be the one

I’m the prodigal son

And no I’m not for just anyone

Now I’m not listening to you rattling on

I’m the prodigal son

And you know you’ll be back before long

‘Cause you’ll be missing me when I’m gone

I’m the prodigal son

A good old fashioned son of a gun

You wanted a hero, well here I come

I’m the prodigal son

And I came for some good old fashioned fun
