I was little back when

We had a couch made of blankets, counting our blessings for this tiny apartment

No idea where we'd be today

And I'd be reading up on zodiac signs, under my nightlight, way past my bedtime

While you're hunched over the dining table, pouring over pages of numbers

Praying it'll all be fine

Oh wherever you are is my home

I know you'll always be close

But if we all go up in dust

How do I hold onto us?

And will I have told you enough?

All that you've done for me to stand tall

See how far I've come

Before we go up in dust

I hear news of dream houses, friends with their spouses

Toes dipped in pools of stability

And I just sing for the stages, but you never miss it

So proud of me

Years of scars from weathered storms on weathered bones

You deserve comfort and luxury

Well I still don't have much to my name yet

And most nights I'm sorry you got stuck with me

Oh wherever you are is my home

I know you'll always be close

But if we all go up in dust

How do I hold onto us?

And will I have told you enough?

All that you've done for me to stand tall

See how far I've come

Before we go up in dust

Would I be brave enough?

And will you look down from above?

With all that you've done for me to stand tall

See how far I've come

Before we go up in dust
