Kara's Walk Home - Stars Kids Home lyrics

Well, I hope that the water's not too deep Maybe I'll swim away from here today And I wish that my arms would never tire And I'd go away and never come back As the dollars go up the time goes down And I'll fill out that check one last time And I'll put off the language that I'd like to learn 'Cause this kid now takes up all of my time I try to forget that you're out there We'll both lives our lives, hopefully happy I wish that my heart could grow some legs And get out of here and just relax I'm losing breath, just sitting here, I'm starting to sweat As I hear your screams from the hall Just one more night and I'll feel love, I say to myself But I just got left with this See you run in to my arms but it's Just wind pushing against my chest And I'm 30 years ago in the back yard Trying not to turn away These steps looks just like the ones we had back home Where I sat and I waited after school The sound of a car perks up my ears But I look inside and once again I know it's not you A new kid came by and I showed him around It felt a little nice to be counted on But a few weeks later his mother came back And again this week I didn't get any mail The water's cool, got my socks off Found Megumu by the bridge Stressed about her grade in Math And I help her out Glad someone here wants my company And I haven't seen you in years And I've been reading books about parents and kids Sitting at home with their pets Their parents help them out with their science projects And watch TV dramas 'til they sleep So how are you? It's been a while Glad you're doing well And I'm not so sure what to say "I missed you" "Well, I didn't miss you too" But I know that's a lie and I hope you felt you were free And we're standing in the sun as it falls down It's just warm enough for the shade And I see you from the side just hiding your eyes Well, who know's what's right
