lyrics

You’ve got a hard heart for a little girl
Pulling hair like tape, eyes white as pearls
Picking potted plants with your sticky hands
My tongue pedals “don’t”, but you don’t understand.

You’ve had a slow start for a little boy
You can’t stand for pain, can’t sit for joy
So you lisp and twist like a cresting wave
You can run outdoors, but can’t get away.

When your dad picks you up,
He won’t say a word.

You’ve got some strong arms for a little girl
Gripping on to me like you hold the world
With the loudest smile and the longest sounds
I can hold you up; you won’t touch the ground.

You’ve got a big mouth for a little boy
You’re as rough with words as you are with toys
Yet you write our names in the lunchyard dirt
You don’t want a hug, but you don’t want to hurt.

I rush up to your mom before she pulls you away
But she won’t believe that you had a good day.

But who do I think that I am
To say you can’t go outside?
What am I trying to hide?
