Lyrics Child - LANKS

Breathing alone
You're restless, my fingers are numb
I'm counting the cracks on the floorboards they're coming undone
My how you've grown

See I thought I knew
As your child I'd listen to you
Your voice is defeated but inside my strength
There's a portrait of you

Can I, I
Can I be your child, child?
Do nothing but shelter me and press me to your arms
So I don't have to ever see what's wrong

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean
Tide pulling at my childlike devotion
I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean
Tide pulling at my childlike devotion
I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

Holding my own
I watched as you slowly unfolded
I'm counting the waves that would wash you away now dissolve
My how you've grown

Can I, I
Can I be your child, child?
Do nothing but shelter me and press me to your arms
So I don't have to ever see what's wrong

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean
Tide pulling at my childlike devotion
I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean
Tide pulling at my childlike devotion
I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

I'm not ready, come up to breathe
I'm not ready, come up
I'm not ready, come up to breathe
I'm not ready, come up

Can I, I
Can I be your child, child?
Do nothing but shelter me and press me to your arms
So I don't have to ever see what's wrong

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean
Tide pulling at my childlike devotion
I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?

Try to fight it but I'm lost in an ocean
Tide pulling at my childlike devotion
I'm not, ready, come up, to breathe
Can I be a child? Can I be a child?
