Denali Gillaspie - Fatherlove lyrics
rate me<br>
He's grounded and he's subtle. <br>i know he'd step over the puddle, <br>back in the day when we went on hikes together. <br>“cold feet will cause a sickness,” he'd say. <br>he played it safe, but i splashed anyway <br>i never listened. <br>he used to hold me in his hand, with the strength of one arm. <br>i've grown since then. yea, i've grown since then. <br>now i'm three feet closer to the stars. <br> <br>you and mom would laugh at such a kid like me. <br>this childhood is a good one. <br>i know i'm well grounded, and i always feel surrounded <br>by your safety, and your fatherlove. <br> <br>if i had a drop of water for every feast he's cooked for me <br>i could take california's coast and bury it under the sea <br>he takes care of me, and yosh and mom. <br>that's one, two, three other people besides himself <br>the way it's always been. <br>he used to hold me in his hand, with the strength of one arm. <br>i've grown since then. yea, i've grown since then. <br>now i'm three feet closer to the stars. <br> <br>you and mom would laugh at such a kid like me. <br>this childhood is a good one. <br>i know i'm well grounded, and i always feel surrounded <br>by your safety, and your fatherlove. <br> <br>won't you take me and create me to have a mind of my own? <br>i appreciate what you did, making me a homegrown kid. <br>now you're listening to our 18 years of history, <br>our 18 years together with homemade christmas presents <br>under our plastic christmas tree. <br>we don't tear our nature down <br>just so we can throw it out come january. <br>no we're not together now, no we're not together now. <br>but please don't worry about me <br>now that i'm out of the house. <br> <br>laughing at the earthquakes in your chair <br>and the mohawks that you let us put in your hair <br>you're a good man. <br>you're a good, good man for putting up with us. <br> <br>you and mom would laugh at such a kid like me. <br>this childhood is a good one. <br>i know i'm well grounded, and i always feel surrounded <br>by your safety, and your fatherlove <br> <br>(Thanks to Victoria for these lyrics)<br>
