lyrics

Soon, we’ll scatter like the ashes of a burning flag
Wait for the bus with a duffle bag
No parents want their hatchlings to fly the nest
No child knows to number the ways they’re blessed

We forgive with silence and avert our eyes
Keep getting up, we try and try
Does the future sculpt you into someone new?
Or sand you down to the real you?

What you chase, will chase you until your last lights dim
Until it's got you in the palm of its hand

She makes the bed, and she keeps the peace
She mops the floor and cleans the sheets
Turned the world from dark to light
With bedtime stories, and a dinosaur night light

The house smells like cinnamon in December
We get older, it’s harder to remember
Are we building something that'll last forever?
Or just walking a little while together?

What you chase, will chase you till your last night falls
Til it’s got you all on it’s own

Mom, are you coming home?
Mom, are you coming home?

Making coffee
Singing songs
Building Legos
Elton John

Soccer practice
Fresh cut lawns
Birthday dinners
Stashing bongs

Ice cream cake
Drag down fights
Sandy towels
Sleepless nights

Unwrapped presents
Dads advice
Counting stars
Summer skies

“Ask your mother”
“Watch your tone”
“You’ll understand
When you have kids of your own”

Live together
Die alone
Chasing rabbits
Coming home
