about

Happy Mother's Day everybody xx

lyrics

Been away for such a long time
With no plans of return
I’ve been walking such a fine line
And the rope begins to burn

See I never meant to leave you there
But that’s exactly what I did
Tried to follow every step with care
But once I took off the lid

Well the lot just kind of crumbled
While you waited in the wings
Never thought it would be simple
But it got a bit unhinged
You’re never one to make demands
Even when the panic rings
You still catch me when I stumble
mother of all my things

These kids are getting quicker
Sometimes the butterfly don’t float
Wish that I could tag you in
Show em how rope-a-dope

We can’t stop them getting older
Just gotta give them room to breathe
But when they lean against my shoulder
I remember you and me

When it all began to crumble
While you waited in the wings
Never thought it would be simple
But it got a bit unhinged
You’re never one to make demands
Even when the panic rings
You still catch me when I stumble
mother of all my things
mother of all my things
Mother
