A Place To Grow Lyrics

There's something about sleeping in

Afternoons in perfect silence

It's hypnotizing

Realizing mere months have passed here

Yet if I was asked

I'd say "It's been years"

When I want to run

I make a break for the back yard

When the wild rears its head

I make my bed in her arms

I lean into the touch

Unafraid of all the ways she loves me so

I can't shake the feeling

That I've found a place to

At sunset when new colors touch the sky

We chase the day

She says "Hey, Grey, why don't we go for a drive?"

She stares with pale eyes

Dim and gentle in the night but

Behind them, I see light

She smiles wide, and so do I

I lean into the touch

Unafraid of all the ways she loves me so

I can't shake the feeling

That I've found a place to grow

I was afraid the comfort was a chain

Familiar pain

I preferred the pouring rain

But you gave me your bed

A safe place to rest, and since then

When our heads are pressed together in the night

The morning always comes too fast

And before I knew it

Years had passed

I was never alone

I watched over this family

And happily found purpose in the task

I was never alone

I'd never leave this home

But there's a feeling in my bones

That this winter is our last
