Lyrics
Lost behind the wheel
Of a cheap rental car
The rain is falling
On my windshield, so hard
And my daughter
Who’s guarded
She’s starting to bawl
She says, “you don’t
Understand me at all”

The maternity ward
Dismantles itself
To sit at the back of the shelf
Where I thought it belonged
Until you came along
Now I’m wondering
If I had been wrong

Lost behind the wheel
On a lifelong trip
And I’m losing my grip
My hand starts to slip
As the passenger seat
Rumbles and weeps
You don't listen to me
Or see the beauty you reap

Please don’t cry, love
You’ve got nothing but time
Open your eyes
See the butterflies
In the carbonized skies
And when the sun finally rises
You’ll know you’re alive

But I don’t know
What I want for you
It feels like
It’s all just a ruse

When our tears
Disappear into water
I’ll know you could’ve
Been my daughter

Please don’t cry, love
You’re feeling down
You’ve got nothing
To worry about
Nothing to doubt

Please don’t cry, love
You’re all right
You’ve got nothing
To worry about
No one to doubt

You're a very very talented singer-songwriter. Plus, i really like your indie-alt-folk-pop sound, the Beirut-Elliott Smith waltzy feeling. So, excuse me mister while i favorite this song...
