STILL DIAL YOUR NUMBER

Verse 1

Your boots are by the doorway,

Dust where you left them last

Your coffee cup still waiting

Like you’re coming back

Mama says I should move on,

But I don’t know how to start

Every quiet room still echoes

With the shape of who you are

Chorus

I still dial your number when the nights get too long

Just to hear your voicemail say you’ll call me back, son

I had a million plans that never came true

Now I’m learning how to live in a world without you

Yeah, I’m older, yeah, I’m stronger, but it don’t feel right

‘Cause I still need my father in the middle of the night

Verse 2

I see you in the mirror

Every time I look too close

In the way I hold my anger

In the things I miss the most

I wish you saw me now, Dad,

Wish you knew I tried my best

Every lesson that you gave me

Is the way I’m getting through this mess

Chorus

I still dial your number when the nights get too long

Just to hear your voicemail say you’ll call me back, son

I had a million plans that never came true

Now I’m learning how to live in a world without you

Yeah, I’m older, yeah, I’m stronger, but it don’t feel right

‘Cause I still need my father in the middle of the night

Bridge

They say you’re in a better place,

I hope you finally rest

But selfish me just wishes

That better place was this

If heaven’s really listening,

Tell him I’m still trying too

Every man I’m becoming

Is because I learned from you

Final Chorus / Outro

So I’ll carry you in my name,

In the choices that I make

You’re the part of me that time

And death could never take

Yeah, I’ll live, yeah, I’ll love, I’ll be alright

But I’ll always miss my father

For the rest of my life
