MISS YOU

This one is for my mom and my dad
I hope you guys like it
Summer fireworks at the end of June
The roads were all closed down so we
Took the sidewalk and I got to walk with you
12 years old, thought I could do a bake sale
on my own
But I had your
Expertise with recipes and poster board
Your full support
You had spent all day at the oven while you
Let me write that sign on a poster and the
Night got darker as we sat there on the corner of the street
Watching the sky together
Mom
Growing up and
Growing old
Moving on I
Want you to know
That I miss you
And I wish you were
I miss you
And I wish you were here
Birthday candle nights were in July dressing up as pirates in the street
You were pirate captain of the water fights
At ten years old, I might've been a handful
on my own
But you have always been
So good at at playing along during games
With me even though I could drive you insane
Quoting Disney movies while you taught me how to cook
Dressed up for a birthday party just like Captain Hook
I remember every second cause you made it all so real
Dad
Growing up and
Growing old
Moving on I
Want you to know
That I miss you
And I wish you were
I miss you
And I wish you were here
And there are too many memories I couldn't fit them all
Into a melody no
If I could then I would I would write a song just for
Nostalgia sake holding to every last Moment
Of sunrises moving from houses to bike rides and birthdays
Hearing me practice and coming to smile from the audience
Holding to every every last memory
I have of growing up
With you
Far away from home I miss you dearly
I want to try to grow up but I wish
You were still here with me
Cause only one phone call to hear
You will never feel as close
As knowing you would be
Waiting up for me when I get back home
Never feel as close
As knowing you
Would be waiting up for me when I get back home
