Suddenly last night, I couldn't find you
You ran to me through a plume of smoke
And all your sisters, they ran after you
When did you know that you were chosen?

Cause it's a wicked world for you to grow up in
And it's a thickened skin, the skin you walk around with
Just don't get cold, cause soon you're old

Fatalistic dreams follow you
It's a hapless place that time will tell
I know you don't need another mother
So I'm giving you something else

Cause it's a wicked world for you to grow up in
And it's a thickened skin, the skin you walk around in
Just don't get cold, cause soon you're old

You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all
(I'm sorry I went too far)
You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all
(I'm sorry I went too far)
You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all
(I'm sorry I went too far)
You can take it slow; you don't have to know it all
(I'm sorry I went too far)

Cause it's a wicked world for you to grow up in
Yeah, there's wrong, there's right
It's not a list to memorize

Can we see your heart?
But I'm blind in that part, in you
I'm sorry I went too fa
