Meredith Palmer

I collapsed in your canoe

Gave my boxes to your mother

I blew up all your balloons

When I thought I was a bother

This house keeps growing

We're glowing

And all falling down

Before I know it

We're going

So give me a ride into town

I could be a better daughter

You could be a better son

I'll head straight for the water

But you help me when I can't run

Now your mother's at the door

And the kids are all out dancing

And I wash up on the shore

You'll be the only one left standing

And this house keeps growing

We're glowing

And all falling down

Before I know it

We're going

So give me a ride into town

I could be a better daughter

You could be a better son

I'll head straight for the water

But you help me when I can't run

You help me when I can't run

You help me when I can't run

You help me when I can't run (I can be a better daughter)

You help me when I can't run (You could be a better son)

You help me when I can't run (I'll head straight for the water, but)

You help me when I can't run

And I thought I was a bother
