This song is a dream. I see a daughter in the night, or, hear her — it’s all
fast shadows and footsteps. I’m losing her, or she’s losing me.

And then we find each other.

I saw you running with your friends
I called your name too loud - 'come back'
so many times it might have been embarrassing
if you hadn't come walking back

Here's where I shook you by the shoulders
shoved you up against a truck - 'what's up'
it was a picture of someone getting older
and of someone growing up

someone growing up

it was like you were in disguise
you were so nonchalant - 'come on'
as though your well half-lidded eyes said,
'what the hell do you want?'

Well I must've said something
for you to feel I was alright - 'alright'
We had a great conversation
that went on well into the night

went on well into the night
