I wanted you to lead me like a dog to a fight
But you got so much older overnight
I wanted you to hold me like the snap of a snare
Oh, but God, you gotta go and I'm not going there
You took the family car and you peeled out of view
I hated you in the fleeting ways that children often do
Would it have killed you then to tell me that you cared?
And would it have killed me then to tell you I was scared?
I could drive all night and never see anything new
I could take both my hands and wrap them around you
But nothing could keep you here for me and me for you, uh-huh
The bad times took a year or two and then we're splitting ways
I wonder if they never left, would we all have stayed?
Would it have killed you then to tell me you were scared?
And would it have killed me then to tell you that I cared?
I could drive all night and never see anything new
I could take both my hands and wrap them around you
But nothing could keep you here for me and me for you, uh-huh
I could mourn what waits for you like a flagpole in the distance
But mine's waving the same
You know
And your body moves and changes regardless of my aching
And mine's changing the same
I know
There's only so much love you can feel from a distance
And time makes a fool of everyone who tries to change it
I'll picture you in the living room Christmas morning full and fed
You picture me in whatever light you like inside your head
