๐ Lyrics
I was hoping you'd stay for a while, my son
To hear the stories of journeys
And things that I'd done
You're barely old enough now
To hear what I have to say
I know that it doesn't matter
I know I can't stay
I was hoping I'd stay for a while, my dear
To see the tics on the door frame
Grow taller each year
You sleep soundly still
As the rain, it pours
You won't remember my face
But I'll cherish yours
Maybe I'll look back on this and laugh
Let the past burn out
And hope you welcome me back
What is it I pay for losing track
You see my face, like a mirror
And hope you won't end up like that
I was hoping I'd stay for a while, my son
But I can't change the past
I know what I've done
I can see how you've aged
And the hurt on your face
I guess it's easier
To expect things to change
You've got a daughter now
Another chapter and page
I hope she's better now
Then we were at her age
I know you speak of me
With a cautious reserve
I can't say I'm surprised
It's what I deserve
Maybe I'll look back on this and laugh
Let the past burn out
And hope you welcome me back
What is it I pay for losing track
You see my face, like a mirror
And hope you won't end up like
Maybe I'll keep distance like you asked
Stray so far from the feeling
That you might welcome me back
Really, I just want the chance to say
That I'll hold you in my heart
And I hope you can say the same
To hear the stories of journeys
And things that I'd done
You're barely old enough now
To hear what I have to say
I know that it doesn't matter
I know I can't stay
I was hoping I'd stay for a while, my dear
To see the tics on the door frame
Grow taller each year
You sleep soundly still
As the rain, it pours
You won't remember my face
But I'll cherish yours
Maybe I'll look back on this and laugh
Let the past burn out
And hope you welcome me back
What is it I pay for losing track
You see my face, like a mirror
And hope you won't end up like that
I was hoping I'd stay for a while, my son
But I can't change the past
I know what I've done
I can see how you've aged
And the hurt on your face
I guess it's easier
To expect things to change
You've got a daughter now
Another chapter and page
I hope she's better now
Then we were at her age
I know you speak of me
With a cautious reserve
I can't say I'm surprised
It's what I deserve
Maybe I'll look back on this and laugh
Let the past burn out
And hope you welcome me back
What is it I pay for losing track
You see my face, like a mirror
And hope you won't end up like
Maybe I'll keep distance like you asked
Stray so far from the feeling
That you might welcome me back
Really, I just want the chance to say
That I'll hold you in my heart
And I hope you can say the same
