Verse 1 A backyard, summer, bare feet, sun The first dandelion, only one I held my breath before I blew Not yet knowing wishes don’t come true But the wind took every seed Like it heard exactly what I need Scattered soft against the blue That was the first magic that I knew Chorus This is how it feels to be small Watching something rise and fall A hundred little wishes take flight Disappearing out of sight Some things you don’t need to keep They just need one breath, one moment, one seed These are memories Verse 2 Grass stains, skinned knees, porch light on Fireflies before they’re gone A hand that held mine crossing the street Voices calling me to eat Nobody tells you when it’s the last time Last summer, last splash, last goodnight You just carry it without knowing why Until it surfaces, and you cry Chorus This is how it feels to be small Watching something rise and fall A hundred little wishes take flight Disappearing out of sight Some things you don’t need to keep They just need one breath, one moment, one seed These are memories Bridge I didn’t save a single seed Didn’t think that I would need Proof that it was ever real Just this feeling I still feel Outro These are memories Light as they were then These are memories I’m still holding them
