It was February fourteen, Valentine's Day The roses came, but they took you away Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone And I'll never get to show you these songs Dad, you should see the tours that I'm on, I see you standing there next to Mom Always singing along, yeah arm in arm And there are days when I'm losing my faith Because the man wasn't good he was great He'd say music was the home for your pain And explain, I was young, he would say "Take that rage, put it on a page Take the page to the stage Blow the roof off the place" I'm tryna make you proud Do everything you did I hope you're up there with God Saying that's my kid I still look for your face in the crowd Oh if you could see me now            Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)        If you could see me now would you recognize me Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me Would you follow every line on my tear stained face Put your hand on a heart that's was cold as the day you were taken away I know its been awhile but I could you see clear as day Right now, I wish I could hear you say I drink too much and I smoke too much dutch But if you can't see me now that shit's a must You used to say I won't know I will until it cost me Like I wont'know real love till I've loved then I've lost it And if you've lost a sister, someone's lost a mom And if you've lost a dad, then someone's lost a son And they're all missing now, and they're all missing now So if you get a second to look down at me now         Mom, Dad, I just missing you now I still look for your face in the crowd Oh if you could see me now             Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow Oh if you could see me now             (Oh if you could see me now)       Ooooh...    Ooooh... Would you call me a saint or a sinner ? Would you love me a loser or winner ?       Ooooh...    Ooooh... When I see my face in the mirror We look so alike that it makes me I still look for your face in the crowd Oh if you could see me now            Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)       I still look for your face in the crowd Oh if you could see me now Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now)

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson aborde le thème de la perte d'un parent et le désir de lui faire honneur. Le chanteur exprime sa tristesse face à l'absence de son père, tout en évoquant des souvenirs précieux et des leçons de vie qu'il a reçues. Il se demande ce que son père penserait de lui aujourd'hui, s'il serait fier ou déçu, tout en cherchant encore son visage dans la foule. La lutte avec la foi et le besoin de faire face à la douleur à travers la musique sont au cœur du message. Le contexte de ce morceau est profondément émotionnel, touchant des expériences universelles de perte et de réflexion sur la vie. Il révèle une quête d'acceptation et d'identité, cherchant à combler le vide laissé par ceux qu'on aime. Cette exploration de la relation parent-enfant et des souvenirs perdus rend la narration particulièrement poignante.
