Forever My Father Lyrics
You don't have to be so scared
You don't have to leave tonight
I've just got to hold on tight
For one hell of a ride
And we lost it all just now
To the nights that left you out
So we'll let this go somehow
But you're gunna be proud
And I just needed you to pick me up
Like you did when we were younger
When the lightning and the thunder
Had me clinging to your heart
For someone
To lift me up
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
You'll forever be my father
And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one
How can I fit all these words
Into such a simple verse
It's the last time that we'll speak
So listen to me please
And I just needed you to pick me up
Like you did when we were younger
When the lightning and the thunder
Had me clinging to your heart
For someone
To lift me up
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
You'll forever be my father
And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one
Did you know that you're my heart
And it hurts to be apart
And this cut it hurts so deep
So sing me to sleep
You don't have to leave tonight
I've just got to hold on tight
For one hell of a ride
And we lost it all just now
To the nights that left you out
So we'll let this go somehow
But you're gunna be proud
And I just needed you to pick me up
Like you did when we were younger
When the lightning and the thunder
Had me clinging to your heart
For someone
To lift me up
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
You'll forever be my father
And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one
How can I fit all these words
Into such a simple verse
It's the last time that we'll speak
So listen to me please
And I just needed you to pick me up
Like you did when we were younger
When the lightning and the thunder
Had me clinging to your heart
For someone
To lift me up
When I'm down and I'm forgotten
You'll forever be my father
And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one
Did you know that you're my heart
And it hurts to be apart
And this cut it hurts so deep
So sing me to sleep

this is just such a beautiful song. Jason Lancaster is such an amazing writer and singer, and apparently it runs in his family. love it.
The lyrics are wrong. Well if you go to their myspace and listen to the song, you'll see.
I'd correct them, but the song is still a work in progress so who knows.
Anyway, the song is self explanatory.
these are the lyrics from their myspace
Amazing tribute to his father, I think the last 30 seconds or so are heavenly.
You don't have to be so scared You don't have to go tonight I just need to hold on tight For one hell of a ride And we lost it all just now To the nights that left you out So we'll let this go somehow I'm sure God will be proud And I just needed you to pick me up Like you did when we were younger When the lightning and the thunder Had me clinging to your heart For someone to lift me up When I'm down and I'm Forgotten You'll forever be my Father And I'll be saving tears in jars for this one How can I fit all these words?

who does the vocals in this song? jason lancaster is obviously one of them, but who are the other two???
yeah, its his brother daniel lancaster. and his sister erin lancaster. erin is in a few other songs. maybe we'll make it after all by stages and steroes, at least we're still alive by we are action, and another new song that hasnt been released by go radio.

I'm pretty sure that the girl singing is his sister and the other guy singing is his brother. He also has a band called Stages and Stereos.
I saw Go Radio live a few months back, and this song is even better live. I got all teary eyed lol. But seriously Jason Lancaster is like my hero for his amazing lyrical and musical abilities.
Does anyone know for sure if it's "But you're gonna be proud" or "I'm sure God will be proud" ? Imo it sounds like "But you're gonna be proud".
But yeah lyrics are kinda self-explanatory.
Beautiful song <3 Love when the snares kick in<3
anyone who has a father should cry to this song... cant imagine losing my dad...
yeah the backup girl singer, if you listen close enough, sounds a lot hayley williams.. i love this song, live version and the recording. the live version is great cuz its acoustic but the studio/album recording with the piano is a whole different dimension in a way, completely diff dynamics
oops, thinkin of a dif song with the live version and all lol my bad
