Song title Mars
Artist Lori McKenna
theres a hole wearing through this couch of mine
and all the cushions are falling out
one little piece at a time
you might see yourself in me
but i dont see nobody i know
this isnt the way i figured it would be
when i figured it a long time ago
theres a rule me and my little boy have
youve got to say i love you before you close your eyes
then he can dream himself to sleep and i can pray or cry
one thing i have taught him well is to never wonder why
why wonder why
i see mars
reflecting in my little boys brown eyes
and he says "mama
im going to get there someday"
and i say "fly"
well
you can hold the whole entire world in your hands
or you can borrow all of your lessons from me
life is not a lesson son
i tell him life is just a dream
and its not as bad as it looks right now
but nothings as
bad as it seems
not as it seems
i see mars
reflecting in my little boys brown eyes
and he says "mama
im going to get there some-
mama
im going to get there someday"
and i say "fly"
well
theres a hole wearing through this heart of mine
and all of the filling is falling out
one piece at a time
but
i see mars
reflecting in my little boys brown eyes
and he says "mama
im going to get there some -
mama im going to get there someday"
and i say "fly i know you can fly"
