Name On A Wall

Switchblade Kittens


He wakes grabs a coffee then sits on the treadmill 
Standing in the dark it just sits there still 
I guess he really thought he'd get to it someday 
When it came to him I guess I thought the same 

My dad is a name on a wall 
He can't play throw and catch the ball 
My dad is a name on a wall 
And they'll be no more names to call 
My dad is a name on a wall 
My dad is a name on a wall 
My dad is a name on a wall 
He's a name on a wall 

They say he loved his job and he was a hero 
How come I missed the call, I was the last to know 
Yeah he will wear a tux but he won't walk me down the aisle 
I wish that he'd come home say it's a joke and smile 

My dad is a name on a wall 
He can't play throw and catch the ball 
My dad is a name on a wall 
And they'll be no more names to call 
My dad is a name on a wall 
My dad is a name on a wall 
My dad is a name on a wall 
He's a name on a wall 

Bridge: 
Candles, flowers, and flags, I'll say I'm proud of my dad 
Candles, flowers, and flags, I'll say I'm proud of my dad 

My dad is a name on a wall 
He can't play throw and catch the ball 
My dad is a name on a wall 
And they'll be no more names to call 
My dad is a name on a wall 
My dad is a name on a wall 
My dad is a name on a wall 
He's just a name on a wall
