Kiss It Better Lyrics

Hey Mom

I was going through your things

When I came across the small black tin

The one you put your keepsakes in

And inside, an old polaroid

Faded red around the edges

Of us smiling all together

Beside dad's new used car

And for a moment, I forgot

Just how much I miss you, just how much I've lost

I wish that photo was a window

To another time and place where you were with me

I'd climb right through, like Alice through the mirror

'Cause now I know how much it's gonna hurt

I'd beg you one more time to Kiss it Better

And Mom

You held me in your arms

The day I came into this world

And I held you in mine the day you left it

Though I tried

I couldn't stop the light

From fading in your face,

I couldn't keep you safe

I couldn't kiss it better

I wish that photo was a window

To another time and place where you were with me

I'd climb right through, like Alice through the mirror

'Cause now I know how much it's gonna hurt

I'd beg you one more time to Kiss it Better

I'm glad the child in that photo didn't know

How much it would hurt to grow

How much it would hurt to let you go

I wish the photo was a window

To another time and place where you were with me

I'd climb right through, like Alice through the mirror

'Cause now I know how much it's gonna hurt

I'd beg you one more time to Kiss it Better

Kiss it Better

I'd beg you one more time to Kiss it Better
