Dear Child

[osamasmomshot]

Dear child, they're asking us to move
I watched her taking off her shoes
Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in
I'm weary, I'm not quite rested yet
This could be obvious to you
Let the shore tide take you in, let the shore tide in
In this short time, we've been treading air

I've been trying to reach you
But my extension cord wouldn't reach that far
Reach that far
I've been patiently waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
Flashing on

Dear sleeper, you could've had the better bed
I loved to watch the way you grew
We're out, we're out the door
We're out, we're out the door
In this short time, we've been treading air

I've been trying to reach you
But your extension cord doesn't reach that far
Doesn't reach that far
Reach that far
I've been patiently waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
It's flashing on
Flashing on

In this coma, sleepless dancing
We've been treading air

I've been trying to reach you
But your extension cord wouldn't reach that far
Doesn't reach that far
Reach that far
I've been desperately waiting
The indicator light is flashing on
It's flashing on
Flashing on

I've been trying to reach you
But your extension cord wouldn't reach that far
Wouldn't reach that far
Reach that far

Doesn't reach that far
