The child in me can't handle her first day
The thought of being unanchored and afraid
I carry it with me today
It's a deep voice crawling up in my throat
To be swallowed down by reasonable approach
Just keep me sane
And I'm ashamed to say it feels as though you're a little far away
And you deserve the me complete and full of self esteem
And I'm just looking over rooftops in your corner of the pretty little street
The cars pass they're gone without a trace
But one will drop you in its momentary place
And I'll wait
I never really know how long I'll stay
How many calendar days it might take
But I'm hangin' on darlin' I'm hangin' on
And I'm ashamed to say it feels as though you're a little far away
And you deserve the me complete and full of self esteem
And I'm just looking over rooftops in your corner of the pretty little street
