Leaning By The Wall

was born in golden times, blew the candle out

This is what our first moments were all about

I sat upon your blanket with the other toys you got

And smiled beside the table where we came to laugh a lot

I don't grow older

I can't help you fight

I only hold the chapters

You turn the page each night

When the world grows heavy

And you're gonna fall

I'll be where you left me

Leaning by the wall

Years went by like passing trains

It was so sad to

France took rings and left with kids

Your hands had not a touch

The city and its crowds of youth

All laughter, joy, and fun

You learn to stand beside the tracks

Let others have a son

I don't grow older

I can't help you fight

I only hold a chance as you turn the page each night

When the world grows heavy and you're gonna fall

I'll be where you left me, leaning by the wall

Leaning by the wall

Leaning by the wall

I have seen it all

Leaning by the wall

Leaning by the wall

But I can't stop your fall

Apartments full of ticking clocks

A name on borrowed doors

You'll learn how quiet echoes get

When no one's asking more

The mirror learned your face too well

Each line a hidden scream

You shake the dust from memory

Pretend you still believe

I don't grow older

I can't help you

I only hold the chapters, you turn the page each night

When the world grows heavy and you're gonna fall

I'll be where you left me, leaning by the wall

You carried me through broken vows and mornings dressed in gray

Through jobs that stole the daylight

And through words you didn't say

You set me down so carefully

Like something that might break

Said I don't need you anymore

But I knew that was for sake

I don't grow older

I don't ask for much

I don't need a reason or a practice kind of touch

When the world goes silent and all the brave words stall

I'll be where you left me, still leaning by the wall

Leaning by the wall

Leaning by the wall

Leaning by the wall

Leaning by the wall
