John Zdrojeski - Spoon-Fed Jack (feat. Melissa Kaitlyn Carter)

Waiting on a summer vacation
For Maya it's a summer salvation
For me a honeymoon delayed
For her a chance to breathe

Oh but all I've got to offer is useless
Any word of comfort is toothless
Because it's hard to be a privileged son
And provide relief

So I listen and wait
Hold her hand and kiss her head
And then let her go
Because what do I know?
I've been spoon-fed

Hope that I'm not one of the bad guys
Cause you never see my name in a headline
Or in a horror story Maya tells
When she gets home

About her principal who's crass and abusive
Department head is vulgar and clueless 
So sticking to the script
She mostly bites her lip
Cause what she says will be dismissed

Oh it breaks my heart
Then drowns it in a gallon of dread
Afraid a woman somewhere
Left something unsaid
Because I'd been spoon-fed

Oh I know
She doesn't need me to prop her up
She doesn't follow where I lead
Oh but I hope
That she feels more than my love
I hope that she feels seen
At least by me 

If I cry, I know that someone will sooth me
If I shit, I always know that I'll soon be clean
I fuck it up, I'll be forgiven 
Never question if I'm seen

But I gotta get some skin in the game now
Got a daughter on the way
When the cold comes around
Strike me down 
If any man tells her what
She can achieve

But I need help
I ask Maya, ask her what I should do 
She just shakes her head
Because I always need to be led
When I've been spoon-fed

Spoon-fed
