Girl Dad World

[Verse 1]
Little shoes by the front door
Glitter backpack on the stairs
Crayon crowns on the fridge door
Tiny voices filling up the air
He remembers secondhand summers
Hand-me-down dreams on the shelf
Swears on every sleepless midnight
They'll never have to shrink themselves
[Chorus]
'Cause he's a girl dad
That's his whole world
Two bright stars in an aching sky
He'll move mountains
He'll cross oceans
Just to see those eyes light up and shine
Every story that he never got
He wraps it up and hands it to his girls
Yeah
He's a girl dad
That's his whole world
He's a girl dad
That's his whole world
[Verse 2]
Tea cups lined on the table
Plastic crowns
Crooked and proud
He’s barefoot in an old suit jacket
Doing slow spins
Making them bow
He saves up for dance class Tuesdays
Birthday trips and sticky ice cream hands
Every laugh that echoes through the hallway
He feels a boyhood finally understand
[Chorus]
'Cause he's a girl dad
That's his whole world
Two bright stars in an aching sky
He'll move mountains
He'll cross oceans
Just to see those eyes light up and shine
Every story that he never got
He builds it like a playground for his girls
Yeah
He's a girl dad
That's his whole world
He's a girl dad
That's his whole world
[Bridge]
If they ever doubt they're worthy (hey)
If the world ever feels too hard
He'll be waiting in the driveway
With open arms and an unlocked car
[Chorus]
'Cause he's a girl dad
That's his whole world
Two bright stars teaching him to fly
He'll move mountains
He'll cross oceans
Just to keep that hope alive
Every “no” he heard as a child
He turns it into “yes” for his girls
Yeah
He's a girl dad
That's his whole world
He's a girl dad
That's his whole world

Warm acoustic pop with male vocals, gentle piano and brushed drums. Intimate first verse, then a wide, sing-along chorus with stacked harmonies. Subtle pad and bass swell in the second half to lift the emotion while keeping a cozy, living-room feel., world
