All stretched out then tucked in tight Squiggles in shades under blue light Wish there was more we could do We'd do anything just to help you The first time I've needed a band That wasn't to prove I was in one Medical terms, I don't understand Just like to watch you wave your little hands Well the days, fade slowly by The closer we get the longer they seem to try To stretch themselves wide I've never known a time in life that felt so slow Some sketchy clubs that we'd drive by Laugh for a second, then start to cry Two call boxes and three floors away We'd scrub up to see you every day Four days in, but three months to go There's nothin better than watching you grow All the folks you'll win over in here Wish I could say that surprises me to hear Well the days, fade slowly by The closer we get the longer they seem to try To stretch themselves wide I've never known a time in life that felt this slow Now that it's been almost a year It's hard to remember back to the tears Still so many things I don't understand All I know is that you're the real deal
