Dad’s Song

Lyrics: Jake Minch Music: Jake Minch Sometimes I think about her in a prom dress Holding her hand out and wearing that promise ring She gave it back, and she knows I still have it I put it on and it's turning my finger green Jump in the water And ducking for cover Stuffing a comforter to both of my knees Drip in the faucet And losing my wallet We are more similar than I wanna be I have a problem with being too honest I'll give 'em all of me, and I'll take it back I'll show up in these short spurts of love And I'll disappear when it starts to get bad Oh, to be wanted regardless Showing me sacrifice, singing your promise I wanna tell you that after you left us I made a life of the things that I'm scared of Mom started telling me I'm getting your eyes After she told me the way that you died I find solace in making a promise I think I'm breaking it Slower forms of It's getting harder to hold out the thunder Finally remember the reason I'm running You were inside of me when I started wandering I started writing, and I called it honoring Finally got quiet, the day it got violent Then I started singing, and people are listening You wrote your poetry, I think we'd both agree I've been hiding in the one place I shouldn't be One place I shouldn't be One place I shouldn't be
