[Verse 1]
Drawing a tattoo, hands like a bird
Came back to mine like you promised you would
Crawled through the window
Dirt in your teeth
You're lying down with me
[Verse 2]
I started talking and I found your keys
And we spent the day in my childhood sheets
Said nobody out there would listen to me
'Til I started listening:
[Chorus]
"You'll get taller and smarter and grow up without me
And I like to think that we're at the same speed
But there's a person who stays and a person who leaves"
You said I gotta keep moving
[Verse 3]
Mom got a second job and Dad's still dead
I'm doing better, but I'm losing my hometown friends
You forgot evеrything that you said
But I didn't
[Chorus]
And I kinda laugh 'cause I knew that it'd happen
But I can't hеlp but wish that you didn't
When you caught me talking like I'm so much bigger
You said I'm in the shoes that I left you in
[Verse 4]
Right before college, your dad's out of town
You fit a lightbulb inside of your mouth
You were talking so big, then you were mumbling so proud
But the joke's that you can't get it out
[Chorus]
White room, blue curtains, and two plastic bags
You were the hardest that I've ever laughed
I think we found it 'fore anyone did
Back when it was safe to be stupid
[Outro]
You call me to tell me you got a girl pregnant
You're keeping the baby, you're leaving Connecticut
I started giggling, you cried on the phone
Said you felt like before
So you learn to like the sound of a girl falling asleep
And you sign up for things that you swore you'd never need
'Cause there's a person who stays and a person who leaves
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
