Dad Song

I remember sitting on your shoulders

Singing to every line

I didn’t know what the words meant then

But I loved that semi-charmed life

Liner notes in the passenger seat

You taught me all about

Broken hearts the birds & bees

And the joy of singing out loud

You taught me how to listen

All about the human condition

Where to find good when it’s hidden

You wear your heart right on your sleeve

Dance like nobody's watching

Rocking out like nobody’s knocking

Sing along when everyone’s talking

That’s you and now that’s me

Remember when you let

Me and my drum set

Take over the living room

While you danced with the dishes

And cheered from the kitchen

Like I was playing Bumbershoot

If I can’t find you in a crowded room

I just track you by the sound

Of you humming along like you know every song

I’m never lost when you’re around

You taught me how to listen

All about the human condition

Where to find good when it’s hidden

You wear your heart right on your sleeve

Dance like nobody's watching

Rocking out like nobody’s knocking

Sing along when everyone’s talking

That’s you, of course that’s you

That’s just what you do

That’s you, of course that’s you

That’s just what you do
