[Verse 1] Little socks by the door Tiny shoes by the mat You were all of my morning Now you’re racing through that Your braid hits your shoulder Then it’s gone in a day I still reach for the old you When you laugh and run away [Pre-Chorus] I keep the first drawings Folded in my drawer Stick-figures and sunshine Like you don’t need them more But your voice keeps changing Like a wind through the trees And I’m learning to love it Even while I grieve [Chorus] Every time I blink you change Every time I blink you change Blink and you grow Blink and you grow Every time I blink you change Every time I blink you change Hold on tight Then let you go [Verse 2] Now you ask bigger questions With crumbs on your chin About stars and forever And the shape of your skin You wear my old sweater Like it’s yours all along And it fits you so softly I can’t tell where you belong [Pre-Chorus] I keep the first drawings Folded in my drawer Stick-figures and sunshine Like you don’t need them more But your voice keeps changing Like a wind through the trees And I’m learning to love it Even while I grieve [Chorus] Every time I blink you change Every time I blink you change Blink and you grow Blink and you grow Every time I blink you change Every time I blink you change Hold on tight Then let you go [Bridge] If I could slow the moon down I would pin it in place Keep your small hand in mine Keep your sleep on my face But the world keeps on turning And it’s taking you with it So I’ll walk right beside you Till you’re ready to lift it [Final Chorus] Every time I blink you change Every time I blink you change Blink and you grow Blink and you grow Every time I blink you change Every time I blink you change I’ll be here As long as I can know Every time I blink you change Every time I blink you change Hold on tight Then let you go
