[Verse 1]
Take something to help you sleep
6AM you’re up to read the world's old anxieties
All the static you release
The sun stretches through the trees of the city
Where we grew up on east, picked blackberries
You raised a family
Your childhood was hard so you wanted ours to be easy
Did you always know what motherhood would mean?
[Chorus]
Sneaking cigarettes at fifteen
I always see you in every reflection of me
Our shared history, remembеred differently
I am a tributary, you arе the sea
[Verse 2]
Worked for the airline
Guess that you always liked the freedom of flying
Anything to set you free from that house, that town, that country
Did you always have that self destructive streak?
[Chorus]
Sneaking cigarettes at fifteen
I always see you in every reflection of me
Our shared history, remembered differently
I am a tributary, you are the sea
[Post-Chorus]
Remember what you told me
Remember what you told me
[Bridge]
Do I look like my mother in that old picture taken by my father?
Some forgotten summer
Do I look like my mother in that old picture taken by my father?
Some forgotten summer
My sisters and my brother, all images of her
All images of her
Do I look like my mother in that old picture taken by my father?
Some forgotten summer
Do I look like my mother in that old picture taken by my father? (Who, who, who am I without you?)
Some forgotten summer
Do I look like my mother in that old picture taken by my father? (Who, who, who am I without you?)
Some forgotten summer
Do I look like my mother in that old picture taken by my father? (Who, who, who am I without you?)
Some forgotten summer
Do I look like my mother in that old picture taken by my father? (Who, who, who am I without you?)
Some forgotten summer
[Outro]
Who, who, who am I without you?
Who, who, who am I without you?
Take something to help me sleep
Look in the mirror and see you in me
