Kyla La Grange - Nurture şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Kyla La Grange

albüm: While Your Heart's Still Beating


And on my fourth birthday, looking like a photograph
We would all forget about and only discover later on
With all the newspapers, piled up like epitaphs
For the man you never knew
But hold onto like a silver swan
And in the forest that I created in my head
I was a warrior at home in the wild
My bones were big and strong
They'd never get me like they did in real life
If I could just get bigger and better
Could you stay a little longer, please?
Could you stay a little longer, please?
And in the lamplight, swaddled like a baby tight
I read a hundred pages to get lost each night
I made a skin out of the Brothers Grimm
Made a magic box to hide the shouting in
'Casue you were busy biting at each other's heels
In an angry fog that never seemed to clear
But it's ok, 'cause I did pretty well anyway
And you're proud
But could you stay a little longer, please?
Could you stay a little longer, please?
And now I'm fifteen, falling on my skinny knees
Telling her, "I'm sorry, please
You know I love you more than anyone"
But I must've got the message wrong
'Casue the more I tried the more I came undone
And she was clever
Knew just how to build you up
And then chip away 'til you went wrong
Could you stay a little longer, please?
Could you stay a little longer, please?
Could you stay a little longer, please?
Could you stay a little longer, please?
And then at 23, I asked someone to follow me
Into a cacophony of all of the things I'd fled
And he was ready
Gave me every part of him
But my ribs were breaking with the weight of it
And so I left
So well rehearsed at leaving beds by then
And now I'm all grown, moving to a new home
With a man my heart holds dearer than anyone
And I'm a mess
So sure I'm gonna love him less with every step
'Cause that's all that I've come to expect
But as the months pass, I'm surprised to feel my heart
Getting bigger and better at last
