Are you okay if I just sing this song real quick? Yeah, wait, loud I sing generally pretty loud Sing loud again Okay, here we go Lately I've been going through changes I've been doing a little light rearranging Blew up my whole life, I'm not complaining Just thought I'd start with some honesty I used to only be concerned with my career getting bigger I started zoomin' out and seeing big pictures I started focusin' on my father figure And I see things a little differently 'Cause I got a daughter now The most perfect tiny human I got a daughter now No idea what I'm doing But the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs Gives me some kind of peace like I never had I guess I see what all the fuss is about 'Cause I got a daughter I got a daughter now If I'm honest, I love it I wear dumb clothes now, and I'm like what of it There are innumerable things that I'm no longer above That's more than fine with me, yeah If that jar is stuck hand it here, I can handle it If that knee's scraped, baby, I can examine it Judge me 'til you walk a mile in my socks and my sandals, kid 'Cause I got a daughter now And she is everything to me I got a daughter now And suddenly I cry at movies And the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs Gives me some kind of peace like I never had Guess I see what all the big whoop is about 'Cause I got a daughter I got a daughter now Yeah, I got a daughter now Like I said, I started making some changes I said no to some radio stations I made some time for some family vacations 'Cause that's who I wanna be 'Cause my biggest fan doesn't care if I'm famous Even though the people know what my name is Yeah, like I said, I started making some changes To be who I wanna be 'Cause I got a daughter now And she is everything to me I got a daughter now And no idea what I'm doing But the way that she smiles and the way that she laughs Gives me some kind of peace like I never have had I guess I see a bit different than now, oh yeah I guess I understand what all the fuss is about 'Cause I got a daughter I got a daughter now I got a daughter now

Some stupid picture, some vacation, someone I don't know And ten expert opinions on some stranger's post And then I know Much to my surprise From a face I haven't seen in a long, long time To say you're fine Over a couple pages Between the lines You were really saying Sometimes I just wonder what it would've been like If you were with me Don't worry your mind I'm not crying at night I just think of you sometimes Sometimes, yeah He's walking his dog out on Venice beach Said he came to Los Angeles to chase some dream "In '95," he said, "I left my girls behind And the time of second chances, it's been gone for a long time" I called a phone I rambled on again but After the tone What I really meant was Sometimes I just wonder what it would've been like If you were with me Don't worry your mind I'm not crying at night I just think of you sometimes Oh We say goodbye As if we're going places And you can try But you can't keep your heart from saying Sometimes I just wonder what it would've been like If you were with me Don't worry your mind I'm not crying at night I just think of you I still think of you I just think of you sometimes

I feel just like a sailboat Don't know where I'm headed But you can't make the wind blow From a sailboat I've seen the sun Felt the rain on my skin I've been lost and found But mostly I've been waiting Oh, I'm out in the waves And I'm hoping and praying Please let this wind blow me home Night after night There's an empty horizon My God, do I feel so alone But sometimes life And most times I feel just like a sailboat And I'm pretty sure I'm heard At least I know I'm speaking But I feel like a fool Cause I can't hear you listening But I'm not giving up, Oh, I'm gonna move on forward I'm gonna raise my sail God knows what I'm headed towards Oh I'm out in the waves And I'm hoping and praying Please let this wind blow me home And night after night There's an empty horizon My god do I feel so alone Sometimes life And most times I feel just like a sailboat Only change I see Lost or found at sea The only difference Is believing I'll make it in Oh I'm out in the waves And I'm hoping and praying Please let this wind blow me home And night after night There's an empty horizon My god do I feel so alone Sometimes life And most times I feel just like a sailboat
