d-sisive - father lyrics

[hook] [x2]
daddy
look down
never look stray
daddy
i need you;
never look away

[d-sisive]
[verse 1]
i ran every red light
ignored every h-rn
slowed down for no one;
broke every rule of the road
i knew something was wrong
when you wouldn’t answer the phone
nor return my calls…
i drove up dufferin
from my apartment on king;
toes never touched the brake
car racing
heart racing
thoughts racing
with no time to slow down
made a right on
hopewell avenue
too concerned to be
mad at you
and you’d always say
“you worry too much, my son…”
but you were all that i
worried about
praying you were
on the porch
smiling at my arrival;
turned off the ringer
when i tried to dial you
“my son, you worry too much.”
but i was too worried;
i’d never have to worry again
saw a cop car
parked beside our lawn
cop walked out the house;
when my car
i parked –
put her hand on my shoulder
“i’m so sorry
your father’s no longer -”

stop

(father…) [x4]

[verse 2]
“derek
do me a favor and play me that song
you recorded
at orin’s yesterday morning
orville redden-
or whatever you called it
ballad something
you know the one that i’m talking about!
and play it loud;
louder!
i don’t know a thing about rap
but i know that i like this
or maybe it’s because
i’m your father;
biased opinion…
shh
let me listen…
kn-blich?
what the h-ll is a kn-blich?
what’s wrong with kristoff?
sounds much better than kn-blich!
this song’s about an ostrich?
i never woulda figured that out
and what’s this obsession with ostriches?
you write a song about a bird
before your old man?
i’m kidding
i can’t wait to hear this
finished…
please play it for me
one more time
and turn it up…”

(father…) [x8]

[verse 3]
i watch him
tap the toes
of his moc-ssins
chin nodding to the beat
fingertips tapping on the armrest
listening to my songs on repeat
was his way of saying
“that’s my boy!”
from the bleachers
and now i sing a song about him
a song about being here without him
i promise i’ll play it loud;
loud enough to hear above the clouds!

but promise me!

[hook] [x3]

daddy
look down
never look stray
daddy
i need you…

(father…) [x18]
