about

This song is about not wanting to be like my father and be supportive to a girl I was dating.

lyrics

I guess I’ll be your knight in shining armor
My word is yours I’ll make it fine and stronger

Forget that blood makes things for sure
I won’t let those scars not make me yours

I’ve fallen deep into this place where I’m from
I fell so close I relive all that I’ve done

And when that wind takes leaves away from this tree
I hope I’ll catch that breeze and drift away from me


I look to heaven from this hell

And I’ll outgrow, outgrow my family tree
My roots are, so deep I hardly can breathe
x2


I saw the deepest part of rivers beside me
Black water take me from this winter of pining

My father’s half what I hope I’m becoming
But whiskey breaks its time, like father like son, see?

I’m reaching for the air that won’t ever hold me
But thoughts and prayers help from what they’ve told me

I guess I’ll be your knight in shining armor
My word is yours I’ll make it fine and stronger

I look to heaven from this hell

And I’ll outgrow, outgrow my family tree
My roots are, so deep I hardly can breathe
x2
