Dad Now

One, two, three

When did I become the one who couldn't talk at all?
She was crying in the bathroom, I was pacing in the hall
Took the test three times, every one, pink lines
We were starting on a family sooner than we wished
Went from planning for a honeymoon to planning for a kid
Nine months flies by, first breath, first cry

I guess time keeps on creeping
Maybe it happens while we're sleeping
Just last week I was in the back seat
Now it's both hands on the wheel
Life makes you grow up in a moment
Go from knowing it all to knowing
I don't know much and there's so much
I still gotta figure out
I'll do my best 'cause I guess I'm Dad now

When did I become the one who gets to wear a cape
Fix everything with super glue and keep food on three plates?
Working overtime to keep on the lights
I'm a bucking bronco every time he asks
It used to be my old man's job, wonder if it broke his back
The way it's breaking mine, "Daddy, one more ride?"

I guess time keeps on creeping
Maybe it happens while we're sleeping
Just last week I was in the back seat
Now it's both hands on the wheel
I've gone from playing ball to coaching
From knowing it all to knowing
I don't know much and there's so much
I still gotta figure out
I'll do my best 'cause I guess I'm Dad

When did I become the one who gets to stand this tall?
Raising little pencil marks, crawling up the wall

I guess time keeps on creeping
Even while I hold him sleeping
Just last week I was in the back seat
Now it's both hands on the wheel
Life makes you grow up in a moment
Go from knowing it all to knowing
I don't know much and there's so much
I still gotta figure out
I'll do my best 'cause I guess I'm Dad now
I'll do my best 'cause I guess I'm Dad now
Yeah

Dada, dada, dada, da-da
I'm a, ah, he, he, he, he, he
