[Intro]
I almost didn't come inside.

I stood at the door
for a long time.

Then you opened it
and looked at me.

You asked who I was.

[Verse 1]
I laughed because
I didn't know what else to do.

I said my name.

You looked at me again.

Then you smiled.

Not because you remembered.

Just because I was standing there.

I sat beside you
in the old chair.

You asked if I had eaten.

I said yes.

I wanted to tell you
I had been thinking about you
every day.

I didn't.

[Verse 2]
Your hands looked smaller.

I remember those hands
when I was a kid.

You used to fix everything.

My bike.
The kitchen door.
The broken light
in my room.

I thought you could fix
anything.

I didn't understand
that one day
there would be something
you couldn't fix.

[Pre-Chorus]
You asked me again
where I lived.

I told you.

You forgot.

I said it again.

And I smiled.

[Chorus]
Dad,
I don't know if you remember me.

But I remember you.

I remember waiting
for you to come home.

I remember falling asleep
on the couch
because I wanted to see you.

I remember you carrying me
to bed.

I never told you
how much that meant to me.

I should have.

[Verse 3]
I stayed until it got dark.

We watched television.

You fell asleep.

I turned the volume down.

For a moment
I felt like a kid again.

I wanted to wake you
and tell you everything.

About the years I wasted.

About the things I regret.

About how many times
I needed you
and didn't call.

But you were sleeping.

So I stayed quiet.

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe tomorrow
you won't remember
that I came.

Maybe you won't remember
my face.

I think that's what hurts.

[Chorus]
Dad,
I don't need you
to remember everything.

I just wish you knew
that I came back.

I wish you knew
I was sorry.

I wish you knew
I wasn't angry anymore.

I was just busy
trying to become a man.

And somewhere along the way,
I forgot to come home.

[Bridge]
You woke up
before I left.

You looked at me
for a few seconds.

Then you said my name.

My real name.

The one you used
when I was little.

I couldn't answer.

I just held your hand.

You squeezed it once.

That was enough.

I cried after I got outside.

I didn't want you
to see me.

[Final Chorus]
Dad,
I don't know how long
you will remember me.

So I'm saying it now.

Thank you.

For every morning.
For every ride.
For every time
you came when I called.

I'm sorry
I waited this long.

And if tomorrow
you forget my name,

I'll still know yours.

I love you, Dad.

I should have said it sooner.

[Outro]
I stood outside
for a minute.

Then I went home.

For the first time,
I didn't feel like
I was running away.
