[Verse 1]
You walked in
I was barely a heartbeat old
Tiny hands
Wrapped around your finger
Holding on
You never had
To stay and build a life from scratch
But you did
And you never once looked back
[Chorus]
Since week two
You’ve been my whole world’s center
Every scraped knee
Every temper
You’re the voice that pulled me through
You chose me
When you didn’t have to
Taught me what a man can do
I don’t know who I’d be
If you hadn’t chosen me
Since week two
[Verse 2]
First bike ride
Your arms running just behind
First big game
You were yelling from the sideline
School plays
Bad grades
You were in the middle row
With that look
That said “kid
I love you more than you know”
[Chorus]
Since week two
You’ve been my whole world’s center
Every slammed door
Every winter
You were there to see me through
You chose me
When you didn’t have to
Stood your ground and told the truth
I don’t know who I’d be
If you hadn’t chosen me
Since week two
[Bridge]
Blood is just a word
When your heart’s already claimed
You never needed titles
To give me your last name
If love is what a father is
Then that’s what you’ve always been
So here’s to you
Today
And all the days you’d do again (yeah)
[Chorus]
Since week two
You’ve been my whole world’s center
All my best days
Every failure
You’re the calm I’m running to
You chose me
And I still choose you too
Every “dad
I love you”
I hope you feel it’s true
Happy birthday
Here’s to you
You’ve been my dad
Since week two
