| There’s a reflection that’s so hard to see
|
| A reflection in water of what you could be
|
| A wave crashes over
|
| Tides pull you under
|
| If you’ve ever wondered why you barely breathe
|
| All of the ways I wish I could’ve shown you
|
| All of the things that I want you to know right now
|
| All the ways I wish I could protect you
|
| From all the things that you’ll learn on your own somehow
|
| As you grow older and you’ve lived through a war
|
| Before you know it the eyes of a storm
|
| Will rain upon you
|
| Not like you ever knew
|
| No like you’ve never seen
|
| Like never before
|
| All of the ways I wish I could’ve shown you
|
| All of the things that I want you to know right now
|
| All the ways I wish I could protect you
|
| From all of the things that you’ll learn on your own somehow
|
| These ugly places I don’t want you to see
|
| These smiling faces I don’t want you to meet
|
| Your heart’s extended out
|
| They’ll try and tear it out
|
| You’ll never be without
|
| The love that’s between you and me
|
| All of the ways I wish I could’ve shown you
|
| All of the things that I want you to know right now
|
| All the ways I wish I could protect you
|
| From all of the things that you’ll learn on your own somehow
|
| Learn on your own
|
| Learn on your own somehow |
