"Father's Day" lyrics

He'll find his way, but you know what they say, he's gettin' on
Can't stay past noon, he'll check out soon, he won't be long
He moves slow, but he don't care
He says, "Time's slow too, but it gets you there"
"There" is what we'll call it
When we won't recall just what we're headed for

The days don't fade, they just come crashing down
It's the thoughts that fade, and they don't make a sound
It's the lonesome, not the quiet
That leads us to deny it till we're down

Hey, 'fore you go, how 'bout you let me know what's going on?
Can't we just see what's become of me before you're gone?
I ain't lost no more, but I'm still not found
Still afraid I found a way to let you down
Still wonderin' what I'm missin'
Always listenin', I'm always hangin' round

Small time left to make that small talk right
It takes so long to say more than goodnight
Last lines are the toughest
Last one out, please, shut out the light

Well, it's not okay, no matter what you say, but thanks a lot
I'll take it for today, it'll always be that way, it's what we got
Can't fix it now, but maybe it was never broken
And if it was, the fixes would be nothin' but the tokens
For what we thought for years
The silent fears, they were never ever spoken

But I took all you gave or ever wanted to
Ain't I done good? I needed that from you
And all I've got to say is
By the way, you done good too
