Things were always gonna change
Sometimes I can’t accept it
You’re becoming like a stranger
We’re becoming disconnected
I know you’re a man now
With a new place to stay
But please let me be your priority
Just for one day
I love you now
As I loved you then
But I know you less everyday
Please can we be children again
Before you fly away?
You may not agree
So they’re not accepted
But I feel like we’re drifting
We’re becoming disconnected
I know you’re not near me
But I’ll still sing a song
And if you can hear me
Don’t stay away so long
I love you now
As I loved you then
But I know you’re less everyday
Please can we be children again
Before you fly away?
D’you think I’m being drastic
Do you think that I’m unfair
And will this message even reach you
To let you know I care?
I know you can’t choose family
But even if I could
I’d choose you as my brother
I just wish you understood
I love you now
As I loved you then
But I know you less everyday
Please can we be children again
Before you fly away? (x2)
Please can we be children again
Before you fly away (x2)
