Dad Now

One, two, three

When did I become the one who couldn't talk at all?

She was crying in the bathroom, I was pacing in the hall

Took the test three times, every one pink lines

We were starting on a family sooner than we wished

Went from planning for a honeymoon to planning for a kid

Nine months fly by, first breath, first cry

I guess time keeps on creeping

Maybe it happens while we're sleeping

Just last week, I was in the backseat

Now it's both hands on the wheel

Life makes you grow up in a moment

Go from knowing it all to knowing

I don't know much, and there's so much I still gotta figure out

I'll do my best 'cause I guess I'm dad now

When did I become the one who gets to wear a cape?

Fix everything with superglue and keep food on three plates

Working overtime to keep on the lights

I'm a bucking bronco every time he asks

It used to be my old man's job, wonder if it broke his back

The way it's breaking mine, daddy one more ride

I guess time keeps on creeping

Maybe it happens while we're sleeping

Just last week, I was in the backseat

Now it's both hands on the wheel

I've gone from playing ball to coaching

From knowing it all to knowing

I don't know much, and there's so much I still gotta figure out

I'll do my best 'cause I guess I'm dad

When did I become the one who gets to stand this tall?

Raising little pencil marks crawling up the wall

I guess time keeps on creeping

Even while I hold him sleeping

Just last week, I was in the backseat

Now it's both hands on the wheel

Life makes you grow up in a moment

Go from knowing it all to knowing

I don't know much, and there's so much I still gotta figure out

I'll do my best 'cause I guess I'm dad now

I'll do my best 'cause I guess I'm dad now
