[Verse 1]
Dear Mother can you hear my footsteps?
Iâm so close, Iâm right there
Iâm almost home, so unprepared
To notice yet ignore how hard it is to be around you
Iâve came clean, Iâm washed out
Iâve flooded the engine, stranded myself
This home, native land they speak in words I canât understand
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So when Iâm standing on this street like I have a hundred times
You donât even glance at me you just pass me by
[Chorus]
I remember your face, from the moment I first saw you
I never looked away
Iâll never forget how you looked that Saturday when you told me
We could never be together, and I could never change
[Verse 2]
Mother, Mother is it you whoâs calling?
Lights out, lay down
Weâll sleep when weâre dead, that time is now
But soft speak will drown out how I canât do whatâs right around you
Cold breeze, no coat, excuses used to take words from my throat. False hope confirmed
Deceits a language I canât hope to learn
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So when weâre standing on this street like we have a hundred times
We will celebrate the years you stalled and couldn't decide
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I used to believe that every person had a purpose
In this swirling ball of indecision that consumes us all
I used to believe that every person had a person
They could always count on and not be scared of, one for everyone
[Pre-Chorus 3]
So when Iâm standing on this street like I have a hundred times
Can I walk away and finally leave, finally leave all of this behind?
[Chorus] (x2)
