Dad Lyrics

When I was nine I fell off my bike

And swore to never hold it again

My knees were scraped and my pride had died

I was scared

The day was bright and my blood ran thick

All at once my pain came to life

I vowed right then on that sunny day

I would never ride again in this life

But then he came down from the car

With a band-aid and smile and a look that was so sure that

I'd make it past this fall

That I'm strong and that I'm wild and I've never stood so tall

And as long as he's there with me

I'm capable of anything

I was seventeen when my heart first broke

And I swore that love is all just pretend

Fueled by grief hating everything

So he sat down held onto my hand

He told me love isn't just one thing

It's a storm and the sea and the sand

But when hearts ease and the waters quiet

I'll be there

But then he came down from the car

With a band-aid and smile and a look that was so sure that

I'd make it past this fall

That I'm strong and that I'm wild and I've never stood so tall

And as long as he's there with me

I'm capable of anything

My father's love conquerors anything

In the night he's the light that's ahead

And through it all he'll come rescue me

And throw me on that bike once again

He came down from the car

With a band-aid and smile and a look that was so sure that

I'd make it past this fall

That I'm strong and I'm wild and I've never stood so tall

And as long as he's there with me

I'm capable of anything

As long as he's there with me

I'll be capable of anything
