Rachel Bobbitt - For Keeps lyrics

I wanted you to lead me like a dog to a fight
But you got so much older overnight
I wanted you to hold me like
The snap of a snare
Oh, but God
You gotta go and I'm not going there

You took the family car and
You peeled out of view
I hated you in the fleeting
Ways that children often do
Would it have killed you then to
Tell me that you cared?
And would it have killed me then
To tell you I was scared?

I could drive all night and
Never see anything new
I could take both my hands
And wrap them around you
But nothing could keep you here for
Me and me for you
Uh huh

Thе bad times took a year or
Two and then wе're splitting ways
I wonder if they never left
Would we all have stayed?
Would it have killed you then to
Tell me you were scared?
And would it have killed me then
To tell you that I cared?

I could drive all night and
Never see anything new
I could take both my hands
And wrap them around you
But nothing could keep you here for
Me and me for you
Uh huh

I could mourn what wait's for you
Like a flagpole in the distance
But mine's waving the same
You know
And your body moves and changes
Regardless of my aching
And mine's changing the same
I know

There's only so much love you
Can feel from a distance
And time makes a fool of everyone
Who tries to change it
I'll picture you in the living room
Christmas morning full and fed
You picture me in whatever light
You like inside your head
