The Way We Are
Reflections in Parenthood
Lyrics
I watch you growing sometimes I see myself in you
I observe your growth, and at times, I recognize aspects of myself in you.
It can be scary but kinda funny too
It can be intimidating, yet there's a certain humor in the similarities.
I hear you talking
I listen to your words and notice many shared traits.
A lot of similarities
There are significant resemblances between us.
Your choice of words
Your choice of words mirrors mine.
And all the fantasies
We share common fantasies and imaginings.
Just the way we are
Just embracing our true selves.
I guess you've seen it now
Acknowledging that you've observed it too.
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
A reflection of ourselves can be unsettling.
Falling down
Facing challenges or difficulties.
From a mountain of frights
Experiencing a fall from a frightening height.
What's there to hold on to?
Questioning what can be held onto in such situations.
The way you makes all smile and the despair when you just
Your presence brings joy, but there's despair when you resist sleep.
Won't go to sleep
I would go the extra mile to make you smile, despite the challenges.
You could have me walking a mile to make you smile still it's not
Efforts to bring happiness may not always result in tears.
Really a weep
It's not truly a reason to weep.
I know you fooled me
Acknowledging that you've deceived me numerous times.
A million times
Despite awareness, unable to resist falling for it.
I just can't help it
Expressing inability to understand why.
Don't know why
Just the way we are
Accepting and embracing our inherent nature.
I guess you've seen it now
Acknowledging that you've noticed it too.
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
A reflection of ourselves can be unsettling.
Falling down from a mountain of frights
Facing challenges or difficulties once again.
What's there to hold on to?
Questioning what can be held onto in such situations.
I know you hate it but they really have to do
Acknowledging the dislike for certain actions, but understanding their necessity.
What they do
Recognizing and expressing empathy for your desires, even if misunderstood by others.
You're crying out your wishes I understand
Despite your cries, others may not comprehend your wishes.
Yet they don't have a clue.
Others lack an understanding of your feelings and desires.
