	This is by far one of Yellowcard's lamest songs. I can relate to most of the songs on Ocean Avenue, but this one has absolutely no adult content. Basically, it is a letter of admiration to the father of the lead singer. Come on, he's like 25 years old! I seriously think that Yellowcard made a huge mistake writing this song. I would have prefered another Inside Out or Miles Apart instead of this garbage.

	why bother replying....it's BLATANTLY obvious.

No Picture Lucas Average	#4 by Lucas Lawrey at Oct 11, 2007 at 4:26 AM EST
	Dude, that's just retarded, this is a good song, it's a very good song. Or it is to me, it means something to me, my dad has been unemployeed for the last 10 years of my life, when I was younger, he was in shape, coached region champion softball teams, we always had money and went on vacation, and when I was younger, I wanted to be just like him. Now that I'm older and about to leave home after graduating, it's like, I never want to be my like my dad, overweight, worthless, jobless, and what not. But this song brings back memories of when I was younger, as a guy, it can almost brings me to tears if I listen to it at a certain time and I get enough into the lyrics and enough into my past memories. The lyrics are good and the singing is good as well, wonderful song.

	all the questions that are asked by little kids are asked in this song. also its shows how all little boys want to be like their fathers. i know i do. if im lucky i'll be half the man that he is.

No Picture hey u by the th Average	#6 by hey u by the that thing. SHUTUP!! at Oct 21, 2007 at 8:42 PM EST
	Nobody's commented yet? Why?? This is a great song. Its about the love a father can give to a boy. Livin in a family of all guys and no mom, i understand the relationship even if im a girl. This is just great. By the way, the last lyric is thank you for my LIFE dad. just thought you wanted to know. =)
