Grown

Felt the tug on my sleeve,  being pulled straight from the rat race
can still your fingers, tracing lines down my face

You said, “I can't believe they'd make you sit there in that room
when that big ole clock is ticking and the world's in sweet bloom”

We felt the pull of the sea, and it tugged us all down under
 didn't mind drowning in this perfect of sense of wonder
I never thought you'd miss me,  no I never did assume
while your heart was beating loud and your world was in sweet bloom

They’ll be grey days, but you’ll find your way
and If the road looks long, my how you’ve grown
It all happened so randomly, like someone spun a wheel that paired you with me
and we're alive on the same summer day

But one day that same wheel will carry you away

My you've grown
