My Boy (Official Music Video) - Rob Cantor

Rob Cantor - My Boy (Official Music Video).

It’s been twelve years since I’ve released a video, in part because I’ve been busy building a family. I hope you enjoy my ode to fatherhood.

My Boy is the first single off my new album, out 11/11.

LYRICS:

My boy
With the freshest of perspective
Giving unofficial lectures all the time
My boy
Watch him picking up the breadcrumbs
Random dots connected with a line
And every day you find another way

CHORUS:
You make the world feel new
Everything I got, you launder when you wonder
I split my heart in two and I gave half to you
And you make the world feel new

My boy
Some exotic innovation
And a party invitation on the lawn
My boy
Set on worldwide domination
I don’t want for this vacation to be gone
But every day a moment winds away

CHORUS

I’m hitting record every day of my life
But the moment is gone by the time I arrive
And I don’t care if I’m lazy, I’d be crazy to deny
That I’m living the legacy, trying to survive
Making a dent on an honest-to-god real life
It’s all a maybe but for now I’m gonna keep on getting by

CHORUS
