[Verse 1]
Used to trip on your laces, fall, then laugh
Cartoons on the floor, crumbs on the couch, snack stash
Little hands on my face sayin’ “watch this, Dad”
Blink once, now you’re grown, it hit so fast
Backseat naps, neck all twisted
I’d drive slow just to keep that distance
From the days we’d lose, I knew I’d miss it
Didn’t know how quick they’d be finished
Homework, ball games, muddy shoes by the door
Tiny jersey, big dreams, I’d be yellin’ “one more”
Now you’re six feet, keys in your own front door
I’m proud as hell, but I still want more
[Chorus]
Wish I had a replay, run it all back, son
Hit rewind on the nights when the day felt done
You’re the man now, can’t ask for more, you won
But I miss that kid you were, I miss that one
Wish I had a replay, slow it all down, please
Every Lego on the floor, every scrape on your knees
Yeah, you turned out strong, you turned out free
If I could get time back, you’d still sit right here with me
[Verse 2]
Remember teaching you to ride, let go, you wobbled
Heart in my throat every time you stumbled
Now you’re drivin’ off, headlights in a tunnel
Same fear, same pride, same shuffle
We argued some, I ain’t always get it right
Raised my voice when I should’ve held you tight
If I could edit those scenes, change the lines I said
I’d trade every bad word for a kiss on your head
Now you call when you can, and I get that, too
Whole world on your back, that’s what men do
But if you ever feel lost, look back and know
You gave my life its meaning just watchin’ you grow
[Chorus]
Wish I had a replay, run it all back, son
Hit rewind on the nights when the day felt done
You’re the man now, can’t ask for more, you won
But I miss that kid you were, I miss that one
Wish I had a replay, slow it all down, please
Every Lego on the floor, every scrape on your knees
Yeah, you turned out strong, you turned out free
If I could get time back, you’d still sit right here with me
[Bridge]
You don’t owe me nothin’, you already gave
Every birthday candle, every art on the fridge we saved
If life is a movie that I can’t reframe
Just know you’re my favorite scene in every frame (yeah)
[Chorus]
Wish I had a replay, run it all back, son
Hit rewind on the nights when the day felt done
You’re the man now, can’t ask for more, you won
But I miss that kid you were, I miss that one
Wish I had a replay, slow it all down, please
Every Lego on the floor, every scrape on your knees
If I can’t get time back, then promise me
You’ll call your old man when you think of me (yeah)
