Suddenly last night, I couldn't find you.
You ran to me through a plume of smoke,
And all your sisters, they ran after you.
When did you know that you were chosen?
Cause it's a wicked world for you to grow up in.
And it's a thickened skin, the skin you walk around with.
Just don't get cold. Cause soon you're old.
Fatalistic dreams follow you.
It's a hapless place that time will tell.
I know you don't need another mother,
So I'm giving you something else.
Cause it's a wicked world for you to grow up in,
And it's a thickened skin, the skin you walk around in.
Just don't get cold. Cause soon we're old.
You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all
(I'm sorry I went too far)
You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all
(I'm sorry I went too far)
You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all
(I'm sorry I went too far)
You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all
(I'm sorry I went too far)
Cause it's a wicked world for you to grow up in.
Yeah, there's wrong and there's right;
It's not a list to memorize.
Can we see your heart?
But I'm blind in that part, in you.
I'm sorry I went too far.
