A Little Longer

I think I like life more than I thought I did
I think I'll settle down and have a couple of kids
But I'm scared of the world that I'm bringing them in
End up back in my situation
I think I'll move up to someplace cold
She can come with if she wants to grow old
Then I'll wrap my tinted hands around you
And say "this was the plan"

I'm back in June
I'm back real soon
I'm back in May
If you are willing to wait
I'm back in June
I'm back real soon
I'm back in May
I'm always one call away
Come back, come here
I need you near
Come back, come home
It feels strange to be alone
Makes me afraid, but the chance you'll need me makes me willing to wait

I thought of mom dying
Makes my heart grow cold
But I only hope
That someday you'll have known
And I accept that when it happens
I'll still be alive
But I can't accept if mom will have to hear how you died

Goodbye friend, I'll see you next winter
I miss the time before every moment lingered
I miss when we could just ignore each other and sit in our rooms
Now every thought
Is like it happens too soon

The thought of growing old makes me afraid
But the chance you'll be here makes me willing to wait
I know you'll need me, so I'm willing to wait
