The story behind this song
He said the spare room was going to be a home gym. He's been saving up dad jokes for years and practicing shoulder rides on the neighbor's kid without ever asking himself why.
Then a little something from the store showed two pink lines. This is the song that tells him — the news lands in the first chorus, and the crying is officially allowed.
Lyrics
No — this is better than the game.
you've been saving up your worst dad jokes,
you said that spare room's for a home gym —
funny story about that room.
You practice carrying the neighbor's kid
on your shoulders down the block.
it's got two pink lines.
Yeah — you heard the words right.
That gym's about to be a nursery,
we're painting clouds and stars at night.
Breathe, baby, breathe — you can cry, it's allowed.
You're gonna be a daddy now.
team onesies, first-game seats.
You've got about two hundred days
to learn to braid and warm a bottle up.
Everything your dad did right
is about to get an encore.
the guys and lose your mind —
Yeah — you heard the words right.
That gym's about to be a nursery,
we're painting clouds and stars at night.
Breathe, baby, breathe — you can cry, it's allowed.
You're gonna be a daddy now.
somebody small is gonna get that too.
Lucky me. Lucky them.
Lucky, lucky you.
Yeah — you heard the words right.
There's a photo for your wallet coming,
due when the days turn bright.
Breathe, baby, breathe — happy tears allowed.
You're gonna be a daddy now.
Tell her Grandma's next.
