A grown-up song
i grew up in a small town
i couldn't wait to leave
the world seemed
so much bigger
than the small part I could see
once i left, i stayed away
a selfish odyssey
the world grew
into a garden
and the fruit fell from the trees
for all my wide-eyed wonder
i realised what i missed
but the world had
saved for later
all the parts I once possessed
now my children are the future
and one day they will leave
because my world
is so much smaller now
they'll never be far from me
