What's a Dad for, Dad?
Tell me why I'm here, Dad
Whisper in my ear
That I'm growing up to be a better man, Dad
Everything is fine, Dad 
Proud that you are my Dad
Cause I know Im growing up to be a better man

Father, I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older, I want to be the same as you

Whats a dad for, Dad?
Taught me how to stand, Dad
Took me by the hand, Dad
And showed me how to be a bigger man, Dad
Listened when you talked, Dad
Followed where you walked, Dad
And you know that I will always do the best I can, I can

Father, I will always be (always be)
that same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me (over me)
Now I'm older I want to be the same as you
The same as you

Father, I will always be
that same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older I want to be the same as you

Father, I will always be
that same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older I want to be the same as you

8 posts	i love this song...cuz all the other punk or rock bands have their songs about how much they hate their dads and how their dads like walked out on them and all that other stuff. Like good charlotte has emotionless...but i love how they have a song about how they love their dads nd how they wanna be just like them. Thats one of the reasons i love yellowcard cuz they are so unique! Rock on w/ that violin!lol

3 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Omg I'm totally in love with this song. I love how its about him WANTING to be like his dad unlike all the other bands that always say they don't want to. ITs good to hear something more positive. It is so great.

226 posts	ya, i like this song and the whole band in general, i remember listening to YC when sure shot was a big hit, and trying to tell my friends how good of a band they were, but no one believed me, so when ocean avanue hit it big, i sat back and laughed at all of them
