johnée - for alice lyrics

[verse 1]
when i was your age i thought i have lost it
everything was my fault and i was always the problem
people called me names, i was the odd one out
i used to say sorry a lot and apologize for doing nothing
every time i opened my mouth
maybe it skips a generation ’cause you’re awesome
and you shouldn’t toss and turn
just ’cause someone never called you
they are the ones missing out
do you think i could be a post+modern father
who’s addicted to coffee and does not have a lover
i know that i can be stubborn
and you’ll probably win all the arguments
when we get caught up in crossroads and you become the new sheriff in town
i didn’t go to college and all of my colleagues
were people i met on the internet
but you can always count on me to talk about everything
when your heroes are dead
and the monsters live no longer under your bed
[chorus]
even though i won’t make it
and i never will be ready
i would like to imagine for a second
it’d be the 4th of february
you just had to be an aquarius
i’ll hold in my arms and i’ll protect you
they will treat you like a lady
or whatever you may be
i will always have your back
you can tell ’em that i’m crazy
and if anybody messes with my baby
i will kick their ass

[verse 2]
i’m sorry alice, i didn’t mean to embarrass you
in front of all your friends
i know you’re far beyond comparisons
but please don’t try to be like everyone
’cause i think you’re cooler than them
when you worry so much about status
you forget there are people who already care
make no effort to impress them
just be yourself and maybe dye your hair
raising me must be a challenge
even though i am the parent and you’re just a kid
i never meant to unpack my baggage
we’re supposed to hold it together
but you noticed i was sad, you sat there and listened
[chorus]
even though i won’t make it
and i never will be ready
i would like to imagine for a second
it’d be the 4th of february
you just had to be an aquarius
i’ll hold in my arms and i’ll protect you
they will treat you like a lady
or whatever you may be
i will always have your back
you can tell ’em that i’m crazy
and if anybody messes with my baby
i will kick their ass

[bridge]
i don’t give you credit for calling me ”daddy”
when you see me having a meltdown
’cause you know it makes me soft
i burst out laughing when you tell me
something terrible that happened to you
and it was just a douchebag at school who said you talk a lot
we could catch a movie
i put on ”clueless” and we ask take+out
i show you my records and we dance in the living room
until we both fall asleep on the couch
[outro]
when you lose it, you can come to me
and if you choose not to speak
i’ll wait until you make your mind up
it doesn’t make you less human to cry
when you’re black and blue on the inside
it doesn’t matter if your bruises are emotional

[chorus]
even though i won’t make it
and i never will be ready
i would like to imagine for a second
it’d be the 4th of february
you just had to be an aquarius
i’d hold in my arms and i’d say ”welcome”
i don’t care if they think i’m crazy
and i would make such a bad parent
i love you forever, my dear alice
