[Verse 1]
As she lies in the bed with the sound of her own breathing
A little voice in her head keeps on repeating:
"Prepare my dear, because things are about to change"
There's a tiny tap in the center of her window
Her best friend James says "Molly, why don't we go
As far away from this town as we can?"
He continues, "My dad is a damn no good liar
He told me my mom went to live up in the sky
But when I look up, all I see are stars from moving cars"
[Chorus]
I push my insides outside, living here for far too long
You are my best part, fresh start, I'm hoping that you'll come along
So come along
[Verse 2]
"Honey, don't be scared, I know just where she's hiding
The answer's in this book that I've been reading
The same one she would read to me each night
It's about a place at the bottom of the ocean
She would always sigh, 'How I wish that I could go there'
So let's hold our breath and sink into her arms"
Because she didn't want to break him with the bad news
She kissed him on his cheek and then continued
"Go be with her, I have to stay right here, but you'll be missed, my dear"
[Bridge]
Here comes your son, do do do do
Here comes your son, he isn't all right
Here comes your son, do do do do
Here comes your son, he isn't all right
[Chorus]
[Outro]
We'll fill our pockets up
And sit down with everything we've felt and seen
And explore the mysteries of life
And why it hurts to love
And in a way, the comfort that we're striving for
In the end will be ignored, I still
Think it's worth the risk
Even though the love and loss and tears and joy
Are just a different type of war, it's true
And everyone must leave
But I think it's who you hold inside your heart
That keeps you warm while you're gone away
