Brandon Voorhees - Drenthe Lyrics

The first time that I saw you
I fumbled through
An interaction soon forgot
Reached out to touch your nose
Thought you wouldn't notice
And that was a lot for me
The first time that I ran to you
You wrapped me up
The days and the lights would not fade
The last time I was burned
Couldn't discern
And then you watched me walk away
The first time that I saw your face
I was like broken empty
You helped me
Face the day
You always showed up
For me that way
You are my father
My father
You paved the way
When I forget to ask
What is in the blood
I'm running
Towards something else
I'm falling away from you
Then I'm reminded
Of a message from my brothers
About your promise
My purpose
Your will in me
I was the first to go
But the last to know
I was the first to go
But the last to know
Your answers that
I questioned for so long
Tend to circle back around
A new invention
Good intention
Marked the willing to surround me
I found it too instinctual
To fight or flight
There was no middle ground
I learned that there was no fair game
Stood in my shame
I wouldn't make a sound
The last time I saw your face
You were like broken empty
I helped you
Face the day
I'll always show up for you that way
You are my father
My father
You pave the way
If I forget to walk
Humbly in your love
I'll run it
With confidence
Even though I cannot see
Then I'm reminded
You told me
To make big moves
On forever
I'm better
Because of you
I was the first to know
But the last to go
I was the first to know
But the last to go
For me it was a lot
You woulda noticed my thoughts
Are you proud of me
Do you approve of what you see
What I've become
Am I good enough to be your son
You picked up when I fell down
And now I see you
I know what I have to lose
Focus on my desire
And the ability to choose
(I keep messing up that same part every time)
(Hey there Brandon)
(How we doing)
(You have an exciting day)
(How we doing)
(You have an exciting day)
(Love ya bye)
