Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I remember sitting by the window
Wishing on every passing car
Like they were shooting stars
And it felt like years I'd be waiting there
You'd call and say you're running late
How 'bout another day?
What really matters to amend
I've made my peace with it
I hope you can
[Verse 2]
'Cause we're gonna have a baby soon
And I know I'll know what to do
So I guess in a crazy way I wanna thank you
Yes, I do
For showing me what it is
Everything I have to give
Well I know what she wants, what she needs
It's everything you never gave to me
[Verse 3]
So strong, the one you can rely on
The smell of aftershave and you know
It's all gonna be okay
Cheering on proud even when you don't win
Saying, forget about the rest
You've just gotta do your best
While I watched other men do theirs
That's how I know
[Verse 4]
And when I have my baby soon
I know I'll know what to do
I guess in a crazy way I wanna thank you
Yes, I do
For showing me what it is
Everything I have to give
Well I know what she wants, what she needs
It's everything you never gave to me
[Verse 5]
You've made your choices
You've gotta live with your mistakes
I swear they're the ones I'll never make
She'll never be waiting by the window
No, I won't be the first man to break her heart
No
[Verse 6]
And when I have my baby soon
I know I'll know what to do
I guess in a crazy way I wanna thank you
Yes, I do
For showing me what it is
Everything I have to give
Well I know what she wants, what she needs
It's everything you never gave to me
[Verse 7]
It's everything you never gave to me
