Everything You Are Is Everything I Want To Be

folk, Mellow traditional Greek pop ballad, nylon-string bouzouki and guitar over gentle bass and brushed percussion, Male vocals, close and intimate in the verses; chorus swells with strings and soft backing harmonies, Tempo stays relaxed with a subtle build into a heartfelt bridge, then pulls back to a quiet, lingering outro, pop, mellow, sad

You’d tie my laces Crooked Laughing On the floor Sneakers by the doorway Your backpack blocking the door You said "One day you’ll follow" I said "Wait I’m still small" You ruffled up my hair And vanished down the hall Everything you are is everything I want to be But every step you take feels like you’re walking away from me I’m waving from the window You’re fading in the street Everything you are is everything I want to be Your posters on the plaster Curling corners Peeling slow Your jacket on the hanger Still smells like cologne Mama sets one more plate Then puts it back in the stack Says "He had to find his life" I just want you back I steal your old blue sweater Sleeves falling past my hands I stand inside the mirror Trying to fit your plans If growing up means leaving Will it happen to me too? If distance is the price I’d rather stay with you
