His footprints are fading away from the beach
We´re not a family to pray or to preach
But daddy´s best friend took a handful of pills and now he´s at a podium making a speech
Yesterday night after dark
He carefully wrote his remarks
But everyone said what he put on his page so he threw it way and went straight from the heart

[Refrain]
I thought this was a party
But all my friends are leaving
And I still want to play
You wrecked me when you stepped out
Cause you´re the wounded healer
And you´re supposed to stay

A year´s a bottle in a bucket of trash
It´ll tip over the more that it stacks
Didn´t notice it till now but dad´s been moving slower every time we play go play catch
I´m scared of the day when he´ll carry a cane
I carry his dream
I carry his name
And when papa is gone he will never be gone because the sound of our sneeze is the same

God bless I
Hear your voice
In mine
I want to stop time
Like a carnival ride
Because
I don´t know what I´m saying but I mean it [répété 4x]
I mean it

I thought this was a party
[Suite du refrain en instrumental]

[Refrain]
