I’ve been holding your hand for far too long now br - your palm is hot as a swamp br - your thick fingers turn my knuckles white br br I can’t run so fast or far br And there’s not enough water for me here br br There were days when you carried me everywhere br - brushed my hair br - rubbed lotion on my scars br And there were no monsters br - hiding under the bed br br I watched a daisy bloom with you br I walked along the beach with you br br But I kept counting candles br And I grew too tall for your shadow br And I learned br - you’re just a man br - and you too can lie br br I can’t run so fast or far br And there’s not enough water for me here br br It’s time br - that I learned to grow br - legs of my ownbr br Kim McInnisbr br
