Lyrics Me and Mine - Dashboard Confessional
The
boy
leaps
from
his
bed
Comes
bounding
down
the
stairs
The
sun's
not
even
up
He
doesn't
even
care
And
I
Yes,
I
was
like
that
once
He
says,
"Daddy,
it's
today"
There
is
this
promise
that
we
made
And
I
open
my
eyes
slowly
And
I
see
his
smiling
face
And
I
Yes,
I
was
like
that
once
So
I
put
on
my
shirt
And
my
jeans
and
my
boots
And
I
say,
"Boy,
I
love
you"
And
he
knows
that
I
do
He
says,
"Pops,
can
we
stop?"
For
breakfast
on
the
way
I
say,
"Son,
I'll
brew
the
coffee
And
I'll
make
you
some
eggs"
And
I
thank
God
That
he
is
mine
The
girl
calls
from
the
yard
"Daddy,
daddy,
come
and
see"
She's
perfecting
her
front
handspring
And
she
is
showing
off
for
me
And
I
Yes,
I
was
like
that
once
So
I
pull
off
both
my
boots
And
I
raise
up
both
my
hands
Then
I
show
her
I
can
do
one,
too
And
she
laughs
hard
'cause
I
can't
And
I
I
was
like
that
once
She
says,
"Dad
you're,
like,
ridiculous"
I
say,
"That's
kinda
my
job"
And
she
kisses
me
on
my
cheek
Then
she's
back
out
in
the
yard
And
she
is
wild
And
free
and
mine
Oh,
I
thank
God
That
she
is
mine
The
woman's
on
the
porch
She
says,
"Husband
come
and
sit"
And
we
look
up
at
the
stars
And
we
talk
about
our
kids
And
I
"I
was
like
that
once,"
she
says
And
she
says,
"Do
you
remember
Just
how
terrified
you
were
Before
our
babies
came
How
you
were
shaken
to
the
core?"
And
I
I
was
like
that
once
And
she
says,
"Oh
love
look
how
blessed
You
and
I've
become"
And
I
take
her
hand
and
say
to
her
"You'll
always
be
the
one"
And
I'm
still
mystified
That
you
want
to
be
mine
Oh,
I
thank
God
That
you
are
mine
And
I
thank
God
That
he
is
mine
And
I
thank
God
That
she
is
mine
And
I
thank
God
For
me
and
mine
