lyrics

natures a patient sculptor
just like a mother
both try to make you better
but no one can make you grow
no one can lose those teeth
no one can tell you who you're meant to be

time is a social construct
you tell me over breakfast
I grab that thread
it pulls me back
and you are a tiny baby
screaming at me
what I would give to get those days back

I am a godless preacher
I'm the mother and the father
I'm trying to make me what you need me to be
now you are 14
still screaming at me
what I would give to make these days last

I want you more for longer
