I know when your head hits the pillow at night
And the world that you met keeps spinning a web
For all the questions that you have

When you love so much it gets hard
When you love so much it gets hard

Do you know that I'd hold you in my arms
Forever if I could?
Even when you grow much taller than me
With your legs dangling to the ground

When you love so much it gets hard
When you love so much it gets harder

I wish that I could be the roof
To shield you from the rain
But then you miss the way
It cools you down again

You can look at a tree and see colors in it
That I never knew
The crack in the sidewalk that we pass by everyday
Will always remind me of you
Some things do stay the same

When you love so much it gets hard
When you love so much it gets harder

I wish that I could be the shoes
You wear to win a race
But then you'd miss how good it
Can feel to lose with grace
And I wish I could be your wings
But you would never learn to fly
So I'll let go
Take off
Come home again sometime
