lyrics

I think it's a treat
to see the way time lifts your feet.
You had a skip and a bounce.
You kept a little clip and a crown.

Somewhere down the line
I hope that you'd be extra kind
to all the you's that you have been.
I know what it's like to be the one you can't forgive.

It's not your fault
if chaos follows you through it all
but don't give up.
I know things can be real tough

But you're stronger than me
and I know that one day
you will see how much you have guided me
towards brighter days
we all make mistakes
so come around.
We're good.

Maybe in a while,
we could reinvent your smile
and maybe play like when we were kids.
The couch can be a fort and pirate ship.

It's not your fault
if chaos follows you through it all
but don't give up.
I know things can be real tough

But you're stronger than me
and I know that one day
you will see how much you have guided me
towards brighter days
we all make mistakes
so come around.
We're good.
