Lyrics:
Oh I wish I’d had help back then
Oh I wish I’d had better friends
I was lost, out there in the cold
oh the cost felt immeasurable
oh I tried to go it alone
yeah I lied to everyone back home
oh the days they were turning black
could not believe the light would come back
until it did, bit by bit
I remembered how to do it
I got through and I’ll be fine
still I wish someone had been there at the time
oh I grew (oh she grew)
into a new shape (into a new shape)
something new, a foreign landscape
with no trees, not a drop of rain
would not believe things could grow from pain
until they did, ledge by ledge
I saw a baby bird raise it’s head
I got through, yeah I’ll be fine
still I wish someone had been there at the time
yeah I wish someone had been there at the time
