Lyrics
[Acoustic guitar intro]
[Verse 1]
Life was going good and things were looking fine for me
Til I went to the corner bar and they laughed at the scene
[Pre-chorus]
When that TV screen showed a picture of my dad
It was blurry but I could still tell he was sad
Then I had an epiphany
[Verse 2]
Years ago when I was younger I had a bad dream
My father was never around, he had never been seen
[Chorus]
And that TV screen that kept flashing his picture
I swear it was really him, that I am for sure
Then I had an epiphany
Of my night in sympathy
[Verse 3]
Growing up my dad always had friends hanging around
I never noticed the things they would leave around the house
[Chorus]
When that TV screen showed the letters of his name
It was blurry, but I could feel such rising shame
Then I had an epiphany
A night in sympathy
[Verse 4]
The police came knocking at the door there and then
His friends weren't around and my dad was arrested
[Chorus]
And that TV screen that kept flashing his picture
I swear it was really him, that I am for sure
Then I had an epiphany
Of my night in sympathy
When that TV screen showed the letters of his name
It was blurry, but I could feel such rising shame
Then I had an epiphany
A night in sympathy
[Chorus]
And that TV screen that kept flashing his picture
I swear it was really him, that I am for sure
Then I had an epiphany
Of my night in sympathy
When that TV screen showed the letters of his name
It was blurry, but I could feel such rising shame
Then I had an epiphany
A night in sympathy
A night in sympathy
Oh
Please don't feel bad for me
Or my night in sympathy
A night in sympathy
Oh
Please don't feel bad for me
Or my night in sympathy
[Ending piano]
