I just don't have room in here
And I keep you in bits and pieces,
where I know you will be safe
And I see you in my scars,
just to keep up with being older
I always get a little closer
just to move a little further away
And I spent so many years
just keeping you there on my shoulders
I guess that I forgot what I was doing
and got over you along the way
The well of words I had for you
But they pale in comparison
And life goes on between us,
but you'll never see me cry
Cause I'd rather live without you
than keep living your life
And it's more than just forgiveness
just to keep up with being older
I always get a little closer
just to move a little further away
And I spent so many years
just keeping you there on my shoulders
and got over you along the way
Along the way, yeah, yeah
Do -do -do -do, do -do -do
Do -do -do -do, do -do -do
Do -do -do -do, do -do -do
Do -do -do -do, do -do -do
And it's more than just forgiveness
to keep up with you older
I always get a little closer
just to move a little further away
just keeping you there on my shoulders
I guess that I forgot what I was doing
and gotta move a long way
