Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Old photos in the glovebox You laughing in that faded cap Backseat full of tangled lines Sunburned shoulders Soda caps You'd say "One more cast" Even when the sky went black I learned patience from that silence Sitting by your side like that [Chorus] I miss you Dad Out on that water Every ripple calling your name Just your little girl Your stubborn daughter Still saving you the front boat seat in my brain If heaven's got a quiet corner With a pier and a borrowed dock Hope you're out there Hope you're waiting For your girl and the backseat tackle box [Verse 2] I drive past that gravel road Where you taught me how to tie that knot Truck still smells like coffee cups And the cheap cologne you always bought I talk to you at red lights Like you're riding shotgun here Ask you what you'd think of him If you'd like my life this year [Chorus] I miss you Dad Out on that water Every ripple calling your name Just your little girl Your stubborn daughter Still saving you the front boat seat in my brain If heaven's got a quiet corner With a pier and a borrowed dock Hope you're out there Hope you're waiting For your girl and the backseat tackle box [Bridge] One day I'll pull up To that old wooden pier Drop my worries in the deep You'll say "Hop in I'm right here" We won't need many words Just the air and the sky You teaching me again How to loosen my line [Chorus] I miss you Dad Out on that water Every ripple calling your name Just your little girl Your stubborn daughter Still saving you the front boat seat in my brain If heaven's got a quiet corner With a pier and a borrowed dock I'll run to you I'll come crashing Your girl and that backseat tackle box

pop, Warm midtempo pop built on clean electric guitar and soft synth pads, light rhythmic bass and tight drums; verses intimate and close-mic, choruses open up with stacked female vocals and subtle “whoa”s. Add a short guitar hook between sections, gentle reverb for a nostalgic glow, and a final stripped-down chorus with just vocal and guitar before the band swells back in.
