The story behind the song
This song is for Dad, from his daughter. He ran beside my bicycle until I realized he had let go. He checked the tires before every family road trip and left the porch light on when I was out late. I want to thank him for helping me find my own way, while always making it easy to come home.
The song began with these details:
- Learning to ride a bicycle and realizing Dad had let go
- Checking the tire pressure before every family road trip
- “Measure twice, leave things better”
- A porch light left on after a late night

Your hand was on the bicycle
Until it was not there
You always left the porch light on
A small gold square against the dark
