Song lyrics
Father of mine
tell me where have you been
you know i just close my eyes
and my whole world disappears

Father of mine
take me back to the day
Yeah, when i was still your golden boy
back before you went away

I remember blue skys
walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk

You would take me to the movies
You would take me to the beach
take me to a place inside
that was so hard to reach

Father of mine
tell me where did you go
you had the world inside your hand
but you did not seem to know

Father of mine
tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life
and you don't see me

I was ten years old
doing all that I could
It wasn't easy for me
to be a scared white boy in a black neighborhood

Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
with a five dollar bill
Yeah, i never understood you then
and i guess i never will

Daddy gave me a name
my daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name

Father of mine
tell me where have you been
I just close my eyes
and the world disappeared

Father of mine
tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
and the wife i saw you beat

I will never be safe
i will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
i will always be lame

Now im a grown man
with a child of my own
And i swear that im not gonna let her know
all the pain i have known

Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
my daddy gave me a name

then he walked away
then he walked away
then he walked away

I can totally relate to this song, I love everclear cuz they sing about just complete raw emotional shit that happens that other bands do sing about, but not near as powerfully as everclear. my fav part of this song is:

now i am a grown man
with a child of my own
and i swear i'll never let her know
all the pain I have known

it really gets me here *points to heart*

This is one of those few tracks of which I can say I absolutely love. It's such a shame though that not as many people recognize Everclear like they do with all those rappers who just swear and sing about sex and drugs.

I mean, yeah, Everclear DOES sing about some of that, but not all the time.

Everclear, rock on forever. Don't change and definitely don't give up!

i agree with YolitheWonderer, Everclear doesnt have enough recognition unlike those rappers who sing about bullshit. Everclear songs are so meaningful and send out a good message! which as i can see everyone relates to! They deserve everything! they are such an awesome band!

Love this song . It makes me wanna cry sometimes. Everclear talks about how life can be messed up and how even though ppl walked away from them all their life, they never gave up.
They aren't just any old band.
