Child

Breathing alone

You're restless, my fingers are numb

I'm counting the cracks on the floorboards they're coming undone

My how you've grown

See I thought I knew

As your child I'd listen to you

Your voice is defeated but inside my strength

There's a portrait of you

Can I, I

Can I be your child, child?

Do nothing but shelter me and press me to your arms

So I don't have to ever see what's wrong

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean

Tide pulling at my childlike devotion

I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe

Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean

Tide pulling at my childlike devotion

I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe

Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

Holding my own

I watched as you slowly unfolded

I'm counting the waves that would wash you away now dissolve

My how you've grown

Can I, I

Can I be your child, child?

Do nothing but shelter me and press me to your arms

So I don't have to ever see what's wrong

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean

Tide pulling at my childlike devotion

I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe

Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean

Tide pulling at my childlike devotion

I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe

Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

I'm not ready, come up to breathe

I'm not ready, come up

I'm not ready, come up to breathe

I'm not ready, come up

Can I, I

Can I be your child, child?

Do nothing but shelter me and press me to your arms

So I don't have to ever see what's wrong

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean

Tide pulling at my childlike devotion

I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe

Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean

Tide pulling at my childlike devotion

I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe

Can I be a child? Can I be a child?
