lyrics

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
