Father Figure Lyrics by Dan Gray

Life Lessons

2020

[Verse 1]
Throughout the years, I've shed too many tears
It's clear now why I’m swimming past my peers
Needing every minute in the lake
Focused on which path to take
Auroras illuminate the way
We numerate just what to say
As all the love you can give
Makes it easier for others to live
Cuz even when you catch a fish
You'll never try to latch onto a wish
Let alone make any you could keep
Since your time on this earth isn’t cheap
Too many crowns just for one throne
You'll drown in the fact you're alonе
Every holiday I could open your presеnts
Any other day, I never feel your presence
[Chorus]
I wish I had the right kind of father figure
One with emotions that weren’t hair trigger
[Verse 2]
There was always more than one way to die
Such as the day that I wanted to fly
High and away from having always been the fall guy
Allies astray as they're so hard to come by
Needed to distance myself from the mention
Of a passage and my aunt by extension
Hardly could think straight when hearing Leviticus
Intimidating presence thinking she convicted us
Of some heinous crime in the kitchen
When there was no reason for her to pitch in
Like the head of a committee at church
Using the cross as a perch
Diving down to clean up every bone
While flipping over all the stones
You can’t just be the judge in a hurry
Since the trial lacks any jury
[Chorus]
I wish I had the right kind of father figure
One with emotions that weren’t hair trigger
