Lyrics

Hey, I hope you like your name
I'd love for you to stay
I'm thinkin' we could learn to dad and daughter, it's a date
I remember when I met you in my mind
Had to change some things about myself I knew you wouldn't like
I think I'm in love again
But I'm still afraid of doing everything over
If this is the promised land
Why does it hurt so good growing older?
I'll learn to do it better
When I can't control the weather
This song is like a letter for the days I can't remember
Can't help but thinkin' we might be alike
Hope you get my traits I like
Hope you build an extraordinary life
I know you'll do it better
Hey, I'm learning to get over myself
It's like I never really knew what gets a man out of hell
And I'd like to teach you 'bout escaping the depression they sell
God, I was faking it so well
There you learn to hate yourself
I think I'm in love again
But I'm still afraid of doing everything over, yeah
If this is the promised land
Why does it hurt so good growing older?
I'll learn to do it better
When I can't control the weather
This song is like a letter for the days I can't remember
Can't help but thinkin' we might be alike
Hope you get my traits I like
Hope you build an extraordinary life
I know you'll do it better
I'll love you I swear it, I don't need my bearings
My parents only meant to do it better than theirs
So to honor my Mom I'll do better than her
'Cause I've learned all good dads only want to see you return
All good dads only want to see you return
(I'll love you I swear it, I don't need my bearings)
(My parents only meant to do it better than theirs)
(So I promised my Mom I'd do better than her 'cause I've learned)
All I want to do is live up to moments
And hope they're enough for two
My parents are proud of how I'm figuring it out
And girl, they're in love with you
