In a distant memory, you call me down by the rushing of the river
To tell me about the world when we weren't standing eye to eye
I had you as my guide
You say it's as beautiful as it's treacherous
I understand now
Why you always asked, "What did I learn?" when I made mistakes
Life's a lesson, and I'm waiting on my turn to know the answers
To those questions I keep asking myself lately, like, "Why are we here?"
And, "How come I don't get to, get to know the world through your lens anymore?"
In a distant memory, you ask to stop by Mom's to show me peaches
From the tree we planted in your yard when I was 9
I wish I made the time to come your way more, watch as they grew
But I flew out, I understand now
Why you always asked, "What did I learn?" when I made mistakes
Life's a lesson, and I'm waiting on my turn to know the answers
To those questions I keep asking myself lately, like, "Why are we here?"
And, "How come I don't get to, get to know the world through your lens anymore?"
