It was right around the time we found out you had cancer We were out walking the dog You said you didn't feel like you really were my father You said we were brothers before it all Well, they fixed you up, and life went on Soon I forgot about the scare Got to that age where boys rebel against the world Everything, everyone, everywhere All I wanted was for you to respect my decisions Even when I was the dumbest kid in town You tried to steer me away from all the icebergs in my path But I would rather try, fail and drown And I don't know how long it lasted But there was a time when we never spoke About anything other than music and sports Before we'd be at each other's throats I picked a side with all the girls who were wrong for me I know you thought I could do better We were both too stubborn then to ever give much ground Picking fights about the fucking weather Got a little older, and things improved Though I couldn't ever figure out why I'd like to think it's cause I got a little smarter You probably just got more resigned But by that time I had gone And these days, I don't see you much I know you wish I lived right down the road But man, I'd lose my mind from feeling stuck So Dad, I wish that there were two of me One to run from what I haven't earned One to walk out on this ancient highway One to be the brother that you deserve One to race like some westbound train Never giving thought to slowing down One to die like some crazy Mongol king And one who wouldn't let you down
