Lyrics
You joked those concrete freckles matched my dead blue eyes
You playfully commented that the imperfections resembled my lifeless blue eyes.
And now I work way longer to make rent on time
Now I put in longer hours at work to meet rent deadlines.
Yet I still take home less
Despite the increased effort, my take-home pay is still less than what my father earned at my age.
Than my father did at my age
Your perspective found the work they did to be interesting but unnecessary.
You found it novel and needless, they work they did
You nurtured our love, expanding it beyond limits as we embraced
You grew our love through the ceiling and we ushered in
the challenges of life, symbolized by the ceiling we broke through.
Our emotional youth
We shared an emotionally charged period of youth.
I spent it with you
I spent that time with you.
Tired of men who can't keep up with you
Fed up with men who can't match your pace.
Done holding hands and having to walk them through
No longer guiding them through life; done with holding hands.
Their emotional youth
They struggle with their own emotional growth.
If you take me home then I can make this home
If you take me to your home, I can build a life there.
If you take me home then I can make this home
-I find less I owe the more I crave to grow
I feel a stronger desire to grow as I owe less.
If you take me home then I can make this home
If you take me to your home, I can build a life there.
If you take me home then I can make this home
-If you take me home then I can make this home
-I find less I owe the more I crave to grow
I crave growth as I owe less.
And you're what lead me through
You are the guiding force through our emotionally charged youth.
Our emotional youth
