Nana always said
Don't you go to bed mad
I'd just roll my eyes
Didn't hear a word she said Thought it was just talk
Old folks always say
Filling up the silence
On a long drive home that way
Oh dad, I wish I'd said 'I love you'
Shouted it right over all that noise
Swallowed every sharp word Just to hear your sweet voice One more time, in that kitchen Fighting over nothing, like fools
Oh dad, I wish I'd said I love you
Yeah, I wish I'd said I love you
Front door slammed hard Keys on the cold floor
Coffee got all cold
By an empty chair
Told myself, We'll fix it Tomorrow will be fine
But tomorrow came
And you weren't there, no sign
Now I tell my own kids 'Come here, make it good'
Kiss their sleepy faces Like I know I always should
'Cause I finally get it
What nana meant back then You can't get back a moment You only get this one again
Oh dad, I'm still saying 'I love you'
Out loud in this quiet room
Oh, I'm living like I said it to you
Yeah, I'm living like I said it to you
