I want you to pick me up and spin me around
And to look down to see you grinning.
I want to you to tuck  me in at night
And  check under the bed for monsters.

I wanna go back to when life was easy
And I didn't have anything to worry about
Back before everything changed.

Before I had to go to Indiana just to see you.
Before I was lucky to see you once a month
Instead of every day.
Before I felt like I had two families Instead of one.

Now I'm tucking myself in at night
And I know that monsters aren't hiding under my bed or in my closet.

I've learned that I'm too big to get on your shoulders
And I don't need to be tucked in anymore
And being my dad is all you ever have to be.
