Come Back

If I stare long enough

would you come back up to me

If I stare hard enough

will I find you underneath

I miss you

I knew you another time

I’ve missed you

And I knew you in another life

But I lost you

I forced you to hide

I buried you in demands

I stole the hope right from your hands

but I’m done asking you to hide

so will your curly hair poke out

will your laughter rise and shout

if you’re in there

if you can hear this

Let’s team back up

let’s slow down the process of growing up
