Child Songtext
von LANKS

Breathing alone
You′re restless, my fingers are numb
I'm counting the cracks on the floorboards
They′re coming undone
My, how you've grown
See, I thought I knew
As your child, I listened to you
Your voice is defeated
But inside my strength, there's a portrait of you

Can I, I
Can I be a child, child?
Do nothing but shelter me and press me to your arms
So I don′t have to ever see what′s wrong


Try to fight it, but I'm lost in an ocean
Tide′s pulling and the childlike devotion
(I'm not ready, come up to breathe)
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?
Try to fight it, but I′m lost in an ocean
Tide's pulling and the childlike devotion
(I′m not ready, come up to breathe)
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

Holding my own
I've watched as you slowly unfolded
I'm counting the waves that would wash you away now
Dissolve
My, how you′ve grown

Can I, I
Can I be a child, child?
Do nothing but shelter me and press me to your arms
So I don′t have to ever see what's wrong

Try to fight it, but I′m lost in an ocean
Tide's pulling and the childlike devotion
(I′m not ready, come up to breathe)
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?
Try to fight it, but I'm lost in an ocean
Tide′s pulling and the childlike devotion
(I'm not ready, come up to breathe)
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?


I'm not ready, come up to breathe
I′m not ready, come up
I′m not ready, come up to breathe
I'm not ready, come up

Can I, I
Can I be a child, child?
Do nothing but shelter me and press me to your arms
So I don′t have to ever see what's wrong

Try to fight it, but I′m lost in an ocean
Tide's pulling and the childlike devotion
(I′m not ready, come up to breathe)
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?
Try to fight it, but I'm lost in an ocean
Tide's pulling and the childlike devotion
(I′m not ready, come up to breathe)
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?
