There's a "For Sale" sign on my dad's sailboat Don't even ask mom why 'cause I already know Yeah, I knew he'd get old, but I don't know, I guess Had no idea it was gonna hurt like this We used to see who could hug the tightest and I couldn't take him Now I barely even squeeze 'cause I feel like I'm gon' break him Bet he wonders why it takes me so long to let go There's a "For Sale" sign on my dad's sailboat Part of me wants to tear it down And let it drown in the river Forget the inevitable And pretend that heroes live forever Part of me wants to buy it And keep it like I wish I could him But I know that ain't gon' make dad young again Tears don't care if I don't want 'em to come I'm tryna take it like a man but I'm taking it like a son Taking it like a son His hands shake just like his dad's did When he was my age and I was just a kid You can tell in that cellphone number that he wrote On that "For Sale" sign on my dad's sailboat SongtextePart of me wants to tear it down And let it drown in the river Forget the inevitable And pretend that heroes live forever Part of me wants to buy it And keep it like I wish I could him But I know that ain't gon' make dad young again Tears don't care if I don't want 'em to come I'm tryna take it like a man but I'm taking it like a son Taking it like a son Guess I saw it coming, I just acted blind Like my dad could beat up Father Time Part of me wants to tear it down And let it drown in the river Forget the inevitable And pretend that heroes live forever Part of me wants to buy it And keep it like I wish I could him But I know that ain't gon' make dad young again Tears don't care if I don't want 'em to come I'm tryna take it like a man but I'm taking it like a son Taking it like a son Aus Songtexte Mania
