Half past 12 on a Friday night everything's wrong and it doesn't feel right
  Tried to talk to someone in the bar she didn't like my face I didn't get far
  When you grow up you're gonna walk big strides just like me
  When you grow up you're gonna hit the big time wait and see
  And I listened to his guiding voice like a man who overhears God
  
  Over and above what I'm capable of
  You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
  Over and above what I'm capable of
  You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
  Are you over
  
  So tall daddy used to tower above him symbol of unreachable
  Time fades icons of perfection cruel result but not intention
  His values are not the ones I choose he's failed in himself
  In the blaze of his pride an independence expressed
  Not there is no guiding voice like a man who loses God
  
  Over and above what I'm capable of
  You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
  Over and above what I'm capable of
  You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
  Are you over
  
  And a man can't understand his father 'til he becomes a father too
  Now his own son's expectation becomes his own hearts burden new
  Dad I didn't understand the pressure could it bring them back together
  
  Over and above what I'm capable of
  You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
  Over and above what I'm capable of
  You couldn't take the weight of my purest innocence
