Dads – Take Back Today lyrics

You made footprints on mountains
You made a change in an old dirt
We showed each other what we're good at
You made footprints on mountains
You made a change in an old dirt
We showed each other what we're good at
We taught each other self worth
We yelled so loudly that we hurt each other's ears
And that summer we all made a pact to face our fears
And that night I met your dad and your older brother
And I wish I could've been there to have met your mother
And I wish you could've been here to have met my father
When he wasn't always in pain or some doctor's new project

It's just everything is always a countdown
Let's take time away

Lately I've been worried I've been spending my life only living part of it
I've been spending so much time in the future I forgot about the present
I wanna go back to when I was young and throwing rocks into ponds I didn't own
I wanna go back to your baby powder feet and your sweaty sweaty summer clothes

If everything is always a countdown
Then I wanna take time away
Am I moving way too fast now?
Or am I trailing at a snail's pace?

I heard my favorite song but I couldn’t stand the sound
I've been running under thunder storms
Just waiting for it to rain down
Its your worn bed sheets
Its your warm pillow
I want to forever follow
Tell me where does your shadow go?

If everything is always a countdown
I want to take back today
