Ohh Ohh Ohh I've got this fear inside, it's crippling That you'll think more about the times we didn't spend And you might cherish the photos I'm not in Or think back to a childhood that I missed You dropped me off at LAX Your mother said you cried in the car again So I'm standing there at the baggage desk But I've got more in my heart than I could afford to check in Be back till Thursday, then I'll jet And for a little mind, it makes no sense Why I rarely tuck you into bed And I wish that I did, but I hope you understand someday I hope you understand someday, yeah I think back to the day when you turned three I was off writing songs in the OC In a dark room twelve thousand miles away Just to pay for the candles on your cake And so I hope that when you're twenty-three It's not me that fills your therapy Did I build you a house when you wanted a home Where no one says, "Daddy, don't go"? I hope you understand someday That what I did, I did for you I hope you understand someday I only did the best I could And I know I probably made mistakes Probably worked harder than I should But I hope you understand someday That what I did I did for you So what is it about airplanes that feels so emotional? I'm sitting here in a chair that's too small and a heart that can't hold it all And the thought that this might not be worth what it costs us Will land in my tear ducts in about three gin and tonics It's when the tooth fairy calls or the school plays that I missed And the prayers before bed I'll regret that I never said And the fights, the first steps, the five a.m. kiss All the gold's in the dirt While I'm in the wind While I'm in the wind (If the wind goes where you send it, so will I)
