Songtexte Fathers - D. One

I can't sleep
No
There's too much going on inside my head
This is me
Oh
I finally understand just what you said
For the first time

Wide awake in the middle of the night
With a little me
My life is his life now
Officially
While the city is asleep
I rockabye and tickle feet
Fatherhood flies
Its kind of bittersweet
I remember you said it
And I finally get it
If he's like me
He might be
A "Dennis the Menace"
Give him benefits we never had
Venice beach weather
Bigger city
Better direction
Better path
Opportunities
To be somebody bad ass
A new generation on the back of the last
Dad your dad left Inoshowen alone
So you could get your corvette with the gold and chrome
And you worked outside in the cold Winters
So I can work from home in my slippers
As my raps turn to nursery rhymes
My baby boy cracks a smile
For the first time

For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time

By the time you can sing along
And understand this
You'll be a big boy
Bye bye swaddles and Pampers
Leaving the kids toys
You wanted from Santa
On the kitchen floor
Tripping on Ninja Turtles and Star Wars
It's a different world from the one we were brought up in
Feeding you a bottle with my feet up on the ottoman
For the first time
Following my footsteps
You're a little Doherty prince
Watching Conor win together
Listening to Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash
Baby talkin
Making Mommy laugh
Saving Rocky & Rad for later
Karate Kid in the making
I can't wait to train ya
Want it all for ya
Options to choose from
A new President who can walk and chew gum
2 to 1 odds
Room for you to run
Let you do everything you should do when you're young
My son

For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
