Lyrics
I see you at your mother’s breast
And even though we just met
You’ve gone and turned everything upside down
You look at me those sleepy eyes
I know soon you’ll start to cry
And I begin to feel like I’m drowning
So now I have a choice to make
Sit outside looking in
Wish that you had never been
And my world was still the same
Or I can shake myself awake
Be your dad and not pretend
Anything else could be any better
Anything else could be any better
So I hold you as you fall asleep
Look at you and I can’t keep
From falling more in love than I knew I ever could
You hold my thumb with your little hand
Suddenly I become a man
And I know I’ll always be here for you
So now I have a choice to make
Sit outside looking in
Wish that you had never been
And my world was still the same
Or I can shake myself awake
Be your dad and not pretend
Anything else could be any better
Anything else could be any better
So now I have a choice to make
I can run far away
Try to stay forever young
Never know what I’m giving up
Or I can shake myself awake
Be your dad and not pretend
Anything else could be any better
Oh nothing else could be any better
