demo 109: I am too (Patreon)

HELLO SDC - happy end of april y'all ! (just missed it for those of u in europe) - here's a song I wrote about my dad. as a longtime lover/appreciator of Good Dads in general I feel it was only a matter of time

tracked in a hotel room in columbus, ohio it felt right to keep it super stripped for this one : )

as always let me know what u think! all thoughts and feelings welcome. you can stream within the patreon website/app here or save the mp3 for forever keepsies

thank you SDC for everything this month! x

lyrics:

I looked up to you 

You guys were tall

I was small 

I knew you 

before I knew anything at all

it’s no miracle I turned out so fucking cool 

and I don’t give the credit to the kids in my school

free will is a concept that sounds really nice

deja vu is a concept where you live it twice

guess what I’m trying to say

is with every day

I become more like u and that is ok 

so let’s drive around 

show me what to do 

oh nobody delivers a story like you 

poet in the passenger seat of the car 

heard this one before but I love this part 

watch em try touch the sky 

the problem is you 

set the bar too high 

run and catch me every time

give me something to believe in 

these parts of me are just parts of you

so thank god you’re a legend 

cause I am too

someone said…

“you are so lucky 

that he is your dad”

i grew up and I learned 

that some fathers are bad 

it spins like a cycle, hurt people cause hurt

then you chase  the love you think you deserve 

if I am a lab rat, a sum of its parts 

I got mam’s humour 

and your softie heart 

it’s a good thing 

she made me a cynical girl 

otherwise I’d stand no fucking chance in this world!

watch em try touch the sky 

the problem is you 

set the bar too high 

run and catch me

every time

you give me something to believe in 

watch em try touch the sky 

the problem is you 

set the bar too high 

you back me up, every time

you give me something to believe in 

these parts of me

are just parts of you

thank god you’re a legend 

cause I am too !
