Lyrics

Yeah
Man, passin' the torch
Feel more like wipin' up floors
And softly closed doors
And hospital visits
And puttin' laundry in drawers
It's just takin trips to the store
Sneakin' a kiss
And singing just a little more
It's watching her nurse
It's finding beauty when it hurts
And nights so delirious
That you have to laugh
Cuz life ain't that serious
It's walks around the block
Keepin' the cupboards stocked
It's the baths and bubbles
Where you forget those troubles
And changin' shirt after shirt
While seeing first after first
And singing verse after verse
And wiping the tears when it hurts
And it's responsibility for sure
But it really make me feel like passin' out first
It ain't some pretty thing you can share while scrollin'
It's on the daily routine you can finally kick that goal in
It's when you don't catch it before he pees on the bed
It's that morning coffee, those little hairs on your head
Just day by day is all it takes to find
It isn't complicated, it just takes time
I only tell you this cuz it can look so pretty
In pictures and memories tinted rose in that city
Like it's so easy and we always had it covered
Not show that we were stressin', so you'd never have to wonder
But it was on the daily
That we earned our stripes
Your mom and me
Yeah, we had our fights
But it's in those struggles that prove who you really are
Like can you stand tall when you're called upon
And can you apologize when you know you're wrong
And can you understand that sometimes
It's harder to be patient than strong
The character of a man ain't found in his words
It's how holds up others, how he puts them first
And how he'll do anything for his family, even when it hurts
There's a long way to go, each day is work
So I'm just trying my best, and I still don't know much
But no matter what we got you, and you got us
Just day by day is all it takes to find
It isn't complicated, it just takes time
