You need to know – along your road, -
- I will follow you in where you go
[Verse 1]
It's been a couple minutes since I've seen you, -
- and just as I expected, every thought has been of me and you
And seeing you the way you were, the way I know you are, -
- is the way that I'll remember everyday for ever on
But I want to go back to having you around, -
- cause I'm getting these memories, and they're heavy and letting me down
Getting me down. Getting me drowned in my own thoughts, -
- and even though I know they won't I still hope they don't stop
But let it be known I'm a man of my word
When I speak people listen, cause they probably heard, -
- that I'm a cla** act; raised right; a little bit of stage fright;
Able to drop anyone, but really I hate fights; and -
- I like my late nights; and I like to party; and I -
- like watching movies with Elvis; kicking karate; and I'd -
- get in the way of a train for a friend; and my
- time with my family's the most that I spend; and I -
- {stay strong} no matter the sh** shovelled; and at -
- {last call} I'm asking to get doubles
See I took what you taught 'till you couldn't give more
So now that you're pa**ed on, I know what to live for
[Chorus]
You need to know – along your road, -
- I will follow you in where you go
Is where I'll be, in case you need -
- someone to lift you if you feel you're weak
If you feel you're weak
[Verse 2]
It's been a couple months since I've seen you
I dream when I sleep that you speak in my dreams
You speak in my sleep. So I wake, but you sleep through
Weak when I wake, and weep when I wake without you
How are you? How are things? What have you been up to?
Me – I'm doing decent. Really, there ain't nothing much new
But you know what I've been up to because you watch me
You can see that every day I'm doing what you taught me
I'll never be what's not me. You taught me to be real; -
- how to live; {how to love}; how to laugh; {how to feel};
- how to act like a man, and how to me the man I'm going to be; -
- and how to use the right fork when there's food in front of me; -
- and how to be the centre of attention when the time's right; -
- and when to step back, cause it's someone else's lime light
And at times like this I get by, because I know when I need you -
- you're by my side
[Bridge]
I'd be lying if I told you that I don't cry
I could probably hold it all in, but I don't try, -
- cause who you are is in this man, and
- who you were is who I am
It's taken it's time. It's taken it's toll
I've got to roll with the punches. So start with the punches. Roll
I always hold my own like you told me to
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
It'll be a little bit until I see you, -
- and though I'm getting anxious now, I'll never speed through
Life's not a read through. We write it as we go
And it's only at the end that we can read what we wrote
It's then that we're gonna spend Ben and mom time
I'll read all your pages, but you can read mine
We'll laugh at the funny ones, and cry when it's sad
And we'll talk about the things that I could only told dad
I know you're getting ready for that day
I know you'll be waiting when I'm heading in that way
So hang on, mom. I'm coming, just not yet
There is still a couple things that I've just gotta get
There is still a couple things I need to see and do -
- until the next time I see you. So set the table, mom
And don't you worry 'bout the forks, now. I got this
Just save me a seat
[Chorus x2]
If you feel you're weak
If you feel you're weak
If you feel you're weak
If you feel you're weak
