Suddenly last night, I couldn't find you. You ran to me through a plume of smoke, And all your sisters, they ran after you. When did you know that you were chosen? Cause it's a wicked world for you to grow up in. And it's a thickened skin, the skin you walk around with. Just don't get cold. Cause soon you're old. Fatalistic dreams follow you. It's a hapless place that time will tell. I know you don't need another mother, So I'm giving you something else. Cause it's a wicked world for you to grow up in, And it's a thickened skin, the skin you walk around in. Just don't get cold. Cause soon we're old. You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all (I'm sorry I went too far) You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all (I'm sorry I went too far) You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all (I'm sorry I went too far) You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all (I'm sorry I went too far) Cause it's a wicked world for you to grow up in. Yeah, there's wrong and there's right; It's not a list to memorize. Can we see your heart? But I'm blind in that part, in you. I'm sorry I went too far.
