heâs grounded and heâs subtle.
i know heâd step over the puddle,
back in the day when we went on hikes together.
âcold feet will cause a sickness,â heâd say.
he played it safe, but i splashed anyway
i never listened.
he used to hold me in his hand, with the strength of
one arm.
iâve grown since then. yea, iâve grown since then.
now iâm three feet closer to the stars.
you and mom would laugh at such a kid like me.
this childhood is a good one.
i know iâm well grounded, and i always feel surrounded
by your safety, and your fatherlove.
if i had a drop of water for every feast heâs cooked
for me
i could take californiaâs coast and bury it under the
he takes care of me, and yosh and mom.
thatâs one, two, three other people besides himself
the way itâs always been.
he used to hold me in his hand, with the strength of
one arm.
iâve grown since then. yea, iâve grown since then.
now iâm three feet closer to the stars.
you and mom would laugh at such a kid like me.
this childhood is a good one.
i know iâm well grounded, and i always feel surrounded
by your safety, and your fatherlove.
wonât you take me and create me to have a mind of my
i appreciate what you did, making me a homegrown kid.
now youâre listening to our 18 years of history,
our 18 years together with homemade christmas presents
under our plastic christmas tree.
we donât tear our nature down
just so we can throw it out come january.
no weâre not together now, no weâre not together now.
but please donât worry about me
now that iâm out of the house.
laughing at the earthquakes in your chair
and the mohawks that you let us put in your hair
youâre a good man.
youâre a good, good man for putting up with us.
you and mom would laugh at such a kid like me.
this childhood is a good one.
i know iâm well grounded, and i always feel surrounded
by your safety, and your fatherlove.
