If I'm capable of changing, I know I can change for you
All my life, I'm rearranging sadness into something new
I can feel the dread dissolving, conversations, problem-solving
End despair and my death wishes, when you cook I do the dishes
I'll avoid the pits and pratfalls, be a good dad, watch the football
Sharp, cold water breaks the habit, does the kid know I'm an addict?
One day, I'll have a teenage daughter
Hope that I can be there for her
One day, I'll have a teenage daughter
I hope I can be there for her
One day, I'll have a teenage daughter
If I'm capable of changing, what if the damage is done?
I can handle middle aging as long as no one brings their gun
I can feel the stress absolving, long-lost friends are now responding
Shopping bags of my well-wishes, when I cook you do the dishes
I'm trying to fix my body, I'm trying to mend my mind
In the time that I was angry, treated myself so unkind
One day, I'll have a teenage daughter
I hope we save the planet for her
One day, I'll have a teenage daughter
I hope I save something for her
One day, I'll have a teenage daughter
I hope I save something for her

I was look-, I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
And it all felt so simple, from the borrowed guitar to how my clothes fell
Cold night in October, cut shapes in the light of the Yarra Hotel
Held hands in the alley, danced with my cousin, did shots at the bar
And we tried on new families and surnames
And friend groups felt closer to who we actually are
Of course, I remembered, the pain in the open, tightening my shirt
It just didn't matter, a missed rung on the ladder, climbing out of the hurt
You look like an angel, you looked like the most radiant you
Our kid in your belly, our life in our hands, our names on our shoes
I was look-, I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
I was look-, I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
I was look-, I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
I was look-, I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
I was look-, I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
I was look-, I was looking for you before I knew I was looking for you
