Old Striped Awning (feat. Peter Morén)

She carried you down the stairs with your headphones on

Those eyes, that smile, oh to look at you, think you were two

It was all brand new like this kind of love

You know even though you're older I still see the same small kid you were before

So I am here to let you know if you find a need...

I'll be the brick holding your kick drum so it won't slide off the stage

See what I mean is I'll be the change you find in your blue jeans when you're waiting for the T

That's what I'll be

It hasn't been easy and I know you've seen a lot for a kid that's ten

No it's too much

So if you haven't studied I'll be your snow day

Brand new it's true it's all for you

And if your hair is falling out I'll shave mine too to match you

Brand new it's true it's all for you

And when you're finally sprouted up I'll still be right beside you

I'm the old striped awning when it hails

And in the dead of summertime I'll be the Van Gogh Weeping Willow

I'll be the North Star glow

I'll be the brick holding your kick drum so it won't slide off the stage

See what I mean is I'll be the change you find in your blue jeans when you're waiting for the T

That's what I'll be

I'll be the key under the doormat when you're in the pouring rain

See what I mean is I'll be the cold side of your pillow case

I'll be the cold side of the pillow case
