1/4 Songtext
von Áine Deane

Brown eyes, pint-sized
Terrified we′ll change
Stays up most nights
'Til I call to say
That I′m doing alright
And I turned off the hall light
No, I don't know what I'm doing with my life
But you can go to bed with peace of mind

Morning coffee
Bicker about the news
I′m a carbon copy
Tryna fill your shoes
I think I′m doing alright
Got a lot to learn but there's time
For me to be stubborn and roll my eyes
But then take every piece of your advice


Carry me over
With my head on your shoulder homeward bound
Wish time would slow up
′Cause I
You're getting older
So if I haven′t told you, I'm telling you now
That when I grow up
If I′m even just a quarter
Of your mother's second daughter
I know I'll be more than okay

You′re still playing kitchen
CDs from 2010
And I′ve still got the letters you wrote me
In a shoebox under the bed
I don't say it enough
But I love that I′m a piece of you
It's the only thing I′m sure of
Other than the sky is blue

So carry me over
With my head on your shoulder homeward bound
Wish time would slow up
'Cause I

You′re getting older
So if I haven't told you, I'm telling you now
That when I grow up
If I′m even just a quarter
Of your mother′s second daughter


I know that I'll be okay
I′ll be okay
I'll be okay
I′ll be okay

So carry me over
With my head on your shoulder homeward bound
Wish time would slow up
'Cause I
You′re getting older
So if I haven't told you, I'm telling you now
That when I grow up
If I′m even just a quarter
Of your mother′s second daughter
I know I'll be more than okay
