lyrics

I WISH I COULD TALK WITH MY DAD

i wish
that i could talk with my dad
most of the time
he seems so distant
n sad

i know it's hard t know him
but i got this idea in my head
we jes standin on rock somewhere
w/ th night as cold as death

well he looks at my face
like it's the first time
he could see himself in me
a broken smile
move across his eyes
he's both proud
n sorry ooo

i wish
that i could talk with my dad
crack a joke r do somethin' cool
that could really make him laugh

i know i know him better
then he'll ever know his son
but there's times im sure
no one else in my life
knows better the race i've run

we won't get it right
my dad n me
'til we both forgive the past
mistakes were made
to show us how
the good stands w/ the bad

i wish that i could talk with my dad
most of the time he seems so bitter n sad
