My Dad Lyrics

Through an ongoing process

So slowly done that I

Just didn’t see

The gradual changes that were happening

Over the past few years to me

One day I had my hair, my youth

I had a plan, I had a dream

The next day, well, couple years later

I’m just not the guy I used to be

I’m glancing in the mirror at the changes

While I’m there

Brushing my teeth

And suddenly, I see him standing there

It’s my Dad

Looking back at me

Hello there, I said with curiosity

Beckoning us both to draw near

And I said this is kind of a surprise to me

I Didn’t expect to

See you here

It was uncanny; it was eerie

Neither of us had anything rehearsed

And he stood there, looking surprised

Waiting for me to say something first

The standoff lasted for a moment

Till the spell broke

And I was free

Least I thought myself to be

But I could kind a see him standing there

My Dad

Looking back at me

We want to know where we’re going

We’re following maps from where we’ve been

And somewhere out there is our past

And our family from way back then

It’s you mother and father’s gift

Connecting you to your family crew

It’s all the people

Yeah, it’s all your people

And some of em are bound to look like you

So I’m taking it easy now, I try not to

Look too close or

Let on that I care

But that guy on the other side of the mirrors

Keeps popping up everywhere

I’m starting to believe there’s a reason

That he persistently calls

But I haven’t stopped to ask how long

He’ll be ghosting within these walls

In a way, this situation

He seems more curious

About my belief

What I believe

And I see him smile as he’s looking out

My Dad

Looking back at me
