lyrics

the moment I found out that you were coming
was so excited but knew that under
the surface I worried the pain that I buried
when younger could one day return with the love
...but soon
you were moving inside of the womb,
on the ultrasound you'd light up the room
heard our voices while we spied
smiling wide, then hiding like you
were trying to communicate
the same kind of excitement that I have
that might have desire for quiet combined with it too
nine months to get you ready
the contractions hitting every
minute seems a bit too heavy
quickly heading to the doctor
sit there with you, kissed the belly
just to tell you I can't wait to meet you
see your face and the way the family fits together
when I saw you it just got better
tears came down and quickly every
bit of pain disappeared like it was never here *

My whole life
Been looking back
On what might have been
Now I have tomorrow again

When I wake up every day
Gotta work to find a way
I can be better for you
I’ll make mistakes like anyone
Try to fix them when they come
I can be better for you
See my life, life, life, life
Pass before me in your eyes
I can be better for you
Better for you, yeah
I can be better for you

Every night when you get in bed
you reflect upon the things you did
that day, you take your fingertips
link them with mine
and bring them to your face
as you begin to trace the shape of your smile
and lay their awhile like you're connecting with that place
and I know you remember everything
in a way that i've never seen but you only really ever seem
to stop and think about whether things
are negative for a second
before you reconnect the feeling
to blend in with the best ones
give you a kiss good night and I'm left
finding my breath hiding behind all the stress
cause my heart is beating inside of your chest
but you wake up full of excitement and possibility
I hope that maybe the light you've got is still in me, still in me

My whole life
Been looking back
On what might have been
Now I have tomorrow again

x2
When I wake up every day
Gotta work to find a way
I can be better for you
I’ll make mistakes like anyone
Try to fix them when they come
I can be better for you
See my life, life, life, life
Pass before me in your eyes
I can be better for you
Better for you, yeah
I can be better for you
