You don't have to be so scared
You don't have to go tonight
I've just need to hold on tight
For one hell of a ride
And we lost it all just now
To the nights that left you out
So we'll let this go somehow
But you're gonna be proud (so proud)
And I just needed you to pick me up
Like you did when we were younger
When the lightning and the thunder
Had me clinging to your heart
For someone to lift me up
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
You'll forever be my father
And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one
How can I fit all these words
Into such a simple verse
It's the last time that we'll speak
So listen to me please [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/go_radio/forever_my_father.html ]
I just needed you to pick me up
Like you did when we were younger
When the lightning and the thunder
Had me clinging to your heart
For someone
To lift me up
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
You'll forever be my father
I'll be saving tears in jars for this one
I just needed you to lift me up
Oh I just needed
Lift me up
And I just needed you to pick me up
Like you did when we were younger
When the lightning and the thunder
Had me clinging to your heart
For someone
To lift me up
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
You'll forever be my father
And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one
Oh
Did you know that you're my heart
And it hurts to be apart
And this cut it hurts so deep
So sing me to sleep
To me it's a cry for someone or something to be his safety. Someone who is no longer there and he desperately needs him to be.

'this only applies in the first chorus' ignore that part in the previous comment.

I'm assuming that this is the version featuring daniel and erin (by looking at the very last part of the lyrics), in this case there are two words that are slightly off. Verse 1: 'i' instead of i've. Chorus 1 and 3: it should be 'when i'm down, when i'm forgotten' this only applies in the first chorus though. I listen to this song way too much because i am in love with it, didn't want a few lyrics here being messed up :) this song is about their father who passed away.

He's in need or calling for someone who will understand, guide and protect him.. At least that's it for me.
Jason lancaster is my favorite for this. My father and i have a bad relationship, or hardly a relationship at all i guess is more accurate. This song for me is about how he was never there when i needed him the most. He was never there to 'lift me up, when i'm down and i'm forgotten. '
