This is a clever song about a fathers love. Chris sings about a fatherly figure coming into his life and replacing his own biological father and all of the potential hate and disregard they had for each other. However, he sings as if he an abandoned dog who is rescued by a kindhearted wanderer.
I can't believe
That I could believe that
I can't believe
You left me for dead man
Cause I called you my friend
My best friend at that
I know that I'm loud man
But give me another chance
I promise to keep this
Damn snout shut for you
But only for you
Cause I love you
I should've seen the boredom
In your eyes
You dropped me off and you said
Your goodbyes
Cause dad, I called you my friend
My best friend at that
I know that I'm loud man
But give me another chance
I promise to keep this
Damn snout shut for you
But only for you
Cause loved you
I saw man
On the side of the road
He said, "Take my hand
That man threw me a bone"
Cause one man's trash
Is another man's treasure
The way that he made me
Feel was better then ever
He told me he loved me
He meant it forever
I love him cause he loves me
And all I've ever wanted was to feel love
