Growing up too quick
All the youth we missed
The love we gave
While the other kids
Learned to use their fists
All the wonder I'd saved
For when I was older
Should've told her she's
Breaking through clouds
She quiets the loud
She lives in the now
And she should be proud
Of who she's gonna be
She won't know me then
Well she won't know me then

Don't be lonely
How I hoped you'd hold me
When you're feeling right
Are you alright
Recall those Autumn nights
You wrapped my hands tight around your waist
Asking, "baby was I worth the wait?"
And once you've heard all my stories straight
Well I still hope that'd you want to stay
And take your time
Just killing mine

Well no one left but me
And the wind that passes the trees
And it
Caresses my cheek like you used to
What would you do if you
Saw me now in a crowd
Would you give me that smile
And take me out
Like you always could
Man those times were good

Don't be lonely
How I hoped you'd hold me
When you're feeling right
Are you alright
Recall those Autumn nights
You wrapped my hands tight around your waist
Asking, "baby was I worth the wait?"
So once you've heard all my stories straight
Well I still hope that'd you want to stay
And take your time
Just killing mine

Don't be lonely
How I hoped you'd hold me
When you're feeling right
Are you alright
