My Son 04:52
I wish I had a memory of my real dad But he died when I was one and all I've got is this gold chain But I don't feel sorry for myself 'cause I know that that won't help Take away the pain And my brother was 6 and maybe that explains why he's the way he is But my mom told me something that my brother said He said "Oh momma, please get us a new daddy" And that's exactly what she did And I can't imagine just how hard it must have been for him To join my family and step father two kids Because he didn't have to raise me and someday I hope to be Even half the man he is And I couldn't have asked for anyone to be a better dad Because he'd drag me out of bed everyday at 6am And he'd drive me to the rink and tie up my hockey skates And for that I must thank him And he taught me the rights and wrongs of treating your lady Like never show up late if she spends all day making you a nice dinner And when you get home from work, make sure that the first.. Thing you do is kiss her And I couldn't grow a beard 'til I left home And so I had to learn how to shave it on my own And I feel sorry for my dad because that is something that I feel sorry for my dad 'cause that's something that I'd like to teach my son I'd love to teach my son I can't wait to teach my son And sometimes I feel so bad because I don't say enough I love you dad.

I have wasted years With worry and with the fear That my life is going no where And I don't have a clue What I'm gonna do And that makes me so scared And I wish I'd wake up And I'd suddenly just know And have my whole life Lined up just like dominoes But I guess that defeats The point of the journey Of finding out who I'm gonna be And you lived life so fast You made every moment last Forever And I miss you every day And I wish that you'd come stay with me For a moment And I wish I'd wake up And I'd suddenly just know And have my whole life Lined up just like dominoes But I guess that defeats The point of the journey Of finding out who I'm gonna be But I keep pushing on Down this road all alone I know where I come from But where I'm going is still unknown I wish I'd wake up And I'd suddenly just know And have my whole life Lined up just like dominoes But I guess that defeats The point of the journey Of finding out Of finding out Of finding out who I'm gonna be

If you feel what I feel Let's put our pride away And let's meet halfway tonight And look into each others eyes And feel our pain disappear And for the moment just feel alright And you know you should leave But I'll stay stay please And meet me halfway and I'll meet you Meet me halfway and I'll meet you Meet me halfway and I'll meet you Meet me halfway and I'll meet you Well I know that you've closed All your doors and windows So anyone you don't know can't see But I'm alone out in the cold Please let me inside, a warm place to hide Is all my heart needs So I'll knock on your door And I won't ask for more So meet me halfway and I'll meet you Meet me halfway and I'll meet you Meet me halfway and I'll meet you Meet me halfway and I'll meet you I'll meet you in Terrytown That little place that we talked about I can't wait until that day When I'll see your face again So meet me halfway and I'll meet you Meet me halfway and I'll meet you Meet me halfway and I'll meet you Meet me halfway and I'll meet you

Our love ended a long time ago And I've heard you've moved on and found a new love And I know that I should go find someone too But I just don't want to get over you Our love wasn't perfect, it had it's problems And we tried so hard to fix them, I'm sorry I gave up But now that you're gone I don't know what to do 'Cause I just don't want to get over you 'Cause we were more than love We were more than love We were more than love Since our love ended, life's felt so tough 'Cause it's not just me that lost you, we both lost us And I'll wait 'til the day you feel what I do 'Cause I just don't want to get over you I don't think I'll ever get over you

I wanna put on my suit And tighten my tie Take the train downtown And work from 9 to 5 From Monday to Friday if I can 'Cause I wanna be a businessman A poor musician If every girls dream But not if he's still struggling When he's 43 At that age, they want someone with a plan 'Cause I wanna be a businessman But to be honest I love I love being at home Ideally I don't want to spend my whole life On the road 'Cause I don't know how much traveling I could stand So I wanna be a businessman But deep down inside, there's this feeling I get And you wouldn't understand, unless you've felt it It's like you've had 5 drinks, when you haven't had a sip And I feel it Every time I do this! Someday I want to Support a big family But I can't do that On my server's salary And it's so hard to make a living In a band But I just can't be No, I just can't be 'Cause I don't wanna be A businessman

about

"The debut EP from Toronto singer/songwriter Kevin Myles Wilson makes a solid first impression. The spacious arrangements – essentially just Wilson singing over quietly picked acoustic guitar – leave lots of opportunity for us to zero in on his voice, which is brawny, restrained and full of sincerity." -Carla Gillis, NOW magazine.
