They say it won't take long You'll grow up wise and strong But my skin's not thick at all And it's so hard just staying calm Please don't hold me But I'm so lonely This anger is my right but you know I'd give you everything that I own I've been stretching myself so thin You said it gets better and it did Though I still wanted to call you my friend The ice where you're standing is fractured and thin I'll keep searching for a sign Feels like I'm running out of time And every second that I get close The sun will set on the west coast I'm not ashamed to say you helped me grow Changed how I viewed the world But honestly it's been so hard for me when you got so cold Though I still wanted to call you my friend The ice where you're standing is fractured and thin I'll keep searching for a sign Feels like I'm running out of time And every second that I get close The sun will set I've spent all damn night Working up the nerve To do what's right I followed every word I'll just bide my time and hang on every line And float like a ghost as it gets cold
