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 horn 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... Knoblich? What the hell is a Knoblich? What's wrong with Kristoff? Sounds much better than Knoblich! 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 moca**ins 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]
