[Verse 1]
I would fight the biggest man
Bare hands
Bare heart
I would break straight through these walls
Just to hold you in the dark
I would run through burning fields
Let the smoke fill my lungs
I would climb the tallest ridge
Just to hear you call me "son"
[Chorus]
If I could
I would break through walls for you
Every bruise
I would paint it black and blue
Daddy wants to be there
But your mother's in the way
So I scream your name in silence
Every day
[Verse 2]
I keep counting spinning days
On this worn-out kitchen floor
There’s a drawing on the fridge
But my key don’t fit that door
I’m a ghost on every weekend
In the photos that you take
I’m the name she never mentions
When you ask why I’m away
[Chorus]
If I could
I would break through walls for you
Every bruise
I would paint it black and blue
Daddy wants to be there
But your mother's in the way
So I scream your name in silence
Every day
[Bridge]
This ain’t your fault
This is our fight
You’re the one thing
We both got right
When you wonder
Why I’m gone
Know I’m out here
Holding on (holding on)
[Chorus]
If I could
I would break through walls for you
Every bruise
I would paint it black and blue
Daddy wants to be there
But your mother's in the way
So I write you in these songs
’till the day I hear you say
“Dad
I knew you’d find a way”
