It might seem silly talking 'bout this now
You just came about, you're sleeping in my hands
But fathers always get to be first loves
I know I'm the one you'll measure them against

And we'll push
Yeah, we'll fight
We won't see eye to eye
I know you'll find a love all on your own
And when it's time
If I've done it right
Only a good man will feel like home

Now, I know I am not a perfect one
I'm worried I won't have everything you need
Been having conversations with demons
I'm telling them I think it's time for them to leave

And I'll push
I will fight
I'll break habits, I'll try
To show you how a love's supposed to go
And when it's time
If I've done it right
Only a good man will feel like home

I will not tell you how to live or who to love
That will all be up to you, my little girl
I can only get you used to what it's like
When someone else thinks you are God's gift to this world

It might seem silly talking 'bout this now
See, you just came about, you're sleeping in my hands
But fathers always get to be first loves
And I love you more than you could understand
