Slick Shoes - Fulfilling lyrics

I hope you remember me, I was your daddy once,

Wearing a sailor cap and dirty nails

To you I'm just a picture on your mother's mantlepiece

who chose to fight the good fight in time to fail

into battle

and in your shadow

your daddy loves you still

yes i do

I never thought it'd be so hard to see you grow so fast

and turn into the man I used to be

but I hope you have more sense than I in matters such as these

medals don't mean shit when a family is lost at sea

I save every moment I've reached out and almost touched you

but they all fade away must be a bad memory
