The first time I saw you, I knew what I knew
That I could be nowhere without you
Working on songs 'til my fingers were blue
Determined you'll know they're about you

And if I could fly
If you would stay for a little while
And I'm almost grown
I am on my own
It's the right time to listen
A liar can learn
Are we almost home?

A place in the sandbox
The man on the moon is dancing like there's no tomorrow
Nails on the chalkboard
I'll clean up my room
A corner to sit in my sorrow

But I think I could fly if you would stay for a little while
And I'm almost grown
I am on my own
It's a fine time to listen
A liar can learn
Are we almost home?
