[Verse 1]
I got your hand in mine
Tiny fist, big plan
I never knew a room
Could change a man
You call me "Dad"
Like it's always fit
I hear my own name
And I can't quit
[Pre-Chorus]
I missed my shot
I missed my train
But you came through
And said my name
Now every bruise
Every old scar
Looks less like loss
And more like who we are
[Chorus]
I finally have the father son relationship
I always wanted
I finally have the father son relationship
I always wanted
You got my eyes
You got my grin
You brought me back
From where I've been
[Verse 2]
We sit on the porch
With a busted screen
You throw rocks hard
At the empty street
I show you how
To fix that chain
You show me how
To say it plain
[Pre-Chorus]
No perfect words
No grand parade
Just lunchbox jokes
And beds unmade
You climb up close
I hold you in
And the whole damn world
Feels new again
[Chorus]
I finally have the father son relationship
I always wanted
I finally have the father son relationship
I always wanted
You got my eyes
You got my grin
You brought me back
From where I've been
[Bridge]
Maybe I came late
But I came for you
With my work boots on
And my hands worn through
If I teach you one thing
Let it be this:
Love shows up
Then it stays through the mess
[Final Chorus]
I finally have the father son relationship
I always wanted
I finally have the father son relationship
I always wanted
You got my eyes
You got my grin
You brought me back
From where I've been
(Here I am)
(Here you are)
(My son, my son)
(We made it far)
