lyrics

grey clouds all round on a july day
a quiet car ride you slept the whole way
out to the lake
where for the weekend you were gonna stay
with grandma and grandpa
and you will see cousins and aunts
mom packed your swim trunks
clothes and a new summer hat
by the time i left you
you scrapped both your knees already
my mind was terrified over leaving you
at the lake
where for the weekend you were gonna stay
i've loved you for longer than you've known
how do i explain
how do i explain
how do i explain that that will never change
...
crossing corners without holding your hand
letting you walk home from school alone with friends
from two to nine seems like such a short time
forever for always
as long as i'm living i said
to you every night that i put you to bed
i cant wait to see the future that you have ahead
from chocolate bars to restaurants
whatever you want
from two to nine seems like such a short time
i've loved you for longer than you've known
how do i explain
how do i explain
how do i explain that that will never change
...
