Guides please Come walk with me I’m going back To the first place I was ever alone Stay close It’s a long way For someone that small Crying Crying Crying Crying cause mom won’t come The crib rail is higher than my shoulders But the deed is done Gate down still high But I swing my leg over Drop to the floor But the walls are watching And it’s miles to the door I make it to the hall But the house It’s too big too quiet so I I call for you But the house stays silent Crying Crying Crying Where did you go Where did you go Mama Where did you go Mama Where did you go Mama I’m all alone And I think I’m dying I’m barely two But pretty sure I’m spiraling When you told me you loved me Were you just lying Doorways stretch tall like they’re leaning in My shadow bends wrong under hallway light Won’t follow me right just slips out of sight I call your name so it stays in the air Cause that’s the only way I can know you were there Every room swallows me bigger than my voice And I learn too young there was never a choice Crying Crying Crying Where did you go Where did you go Mama Where did you go Mama Where did you go Mama I’m all alone And I think I’m dying I’m barely two But pretty sure I’m spiraling When you told me you loved me Were you just lying Mama Mama Mama Same walls same floor but I’m taller now Voice wide enough to fill this house to call you out You’re still pressed to the plaster afraid of the dark But baby girl You don’t have to be the one That guards our heart I’m the night watch The lock The open door The voice you long for isn’t there anymore But I’m here I’m still here I’m the one that stays This space has music now And light that stays Love that doesn’t leave just cause it’s late You held the line when the world went cold Kept our breath steady in a house that sold Every safe thing it had But you stood the ground You can lay it down babe I’ve got us now I’ve got us now I’ve got us now I’ve got us now The air here’s warm no threat at the gate You can sleep without scanning for the weight Rest easy small one you’re finally home I’ll keep the watch you’re not alone And when you wake I’ll still be here Same room same air no sudden fear I’ll keep the door where you can see it I’ll keep the night quiet but never empty Thank you for standing when the ground was gone For holding the line until the light came on You can set it down now Ill carry it through Everything safe Now lives here with you I’ve got you now I’ve got you now I’ve got you now I’ve got you now Rest little me I’ll hold you now I’ve got you I’ve got you Rest little me you’re safe and loved I’ve got you I’ve got you Rest little me you are finally done I’ve got you I’ve got you
