What if my baby started running?
What if she swallowed all the sea?
What if I hate who I'm becoming?
And my young heart never runs free?
What if the sparrows start freewheeling?
Dot to dot the atmosphere
What if my tired arms were squeezing,
Onto moments held so dear?
I'm just afraid that I'm failing
I'm just afraid that I'm done
I'm just afraid that I'm washed up and dried out
And the water ain't gonna save me
What if she's fixed but somehow broken?
All the talking makes her cry
And that home she built won't open
Any guest will bleed her dry
But what if stars were in her ceiling?
And the planets in her eyes?
And the glimmers of that feeling
Made her see a hopeful sky
'Cause I'm just afraid that I'm failing
I'm just afraid that I'm done
I'm just afraid that I'm washed up and dried out
And the water ain't gonna save me
What if she swallowed all the sea?
What if I hate who I'm becoming?
And my young heart never runs free?
What if the sparrows start freewheeling?
Dot to dot the atmosphere
What if my tired arms were squeezing,
Onto moments held so dear?
I'm just afraid that I'm done
I'm just afraid that I'm washed up and dried out
And the water ain't gonna save me
All the talking makes her cry
And that home she built won't open
Any guest will bleed her dry
But what if stars were in her ceiling?
And the planets in her eyes?
And the glimmers of that feeling
Made her see a hopeful sky
I'm just afraid that I'm done
I'm just afraid that I'm washed up and dried out
And the water ain't gonna save me
