But - Dads

But I wish you never had to settle

For a cold phone, instead of a warm wake up tone

But I wish you never had to settle

For an annoying necessity, instead of a comforting chest cavity

I wanna be a part of your inside jokes

I wanna know about each pill you take and

Where deep in your in body it goes

What diseases do you think you have?

How bad it gets when you said

«Oh, it’s gonna get bad.»

What tragedies you’ve faced

And to know when this place finally burns down

They won’t find our bodies in the waste

And I wish you never had to settle

For a bed too big, instead of stories of shit you got into way back

Back when you were a kid

Well I’m no longer looking for a filler

A random body to hold

I’m done stopping time

I’m finally ready to get old

And I know I’m nervous

And I’m feeling anxious

But I’m coming back to you

I’m done looking for some spaceship

And when I get there

It’ll be a storm;

I’ll be the tornado

That keeps you warm

I’ll be the tornado

That keeps you warm
