[Verse 1]
Tiny hands
Wrapped around my thumb
Eight wild years
Where did they all run
Cartoons loud
Cereal on the floor
You laughed and I swore
I’d love you even more
[Pre-Chorus]
I messed up maps
We lost our way
Said the wrong words
Pushed your mom away
If I could rewind
Rewrite that scene
You’d still be here
Little queen
[Chorus]
Lil queen
My Callie Ryan
My whole heart
I’m still tryin’
You’re my reason
My sweet dream
Even from a distance
You still beam
Lil queen
My Callie Ryan
World feels cold but I’m not lyin’
Every day
In everything I do
I go crazy loving you
[Verse 2]
School-day pics
Backpack twice your size
Crooked bow
Stubborn in your eyes
Every joke
You’d laugh before the end
You were my sunrise
My best friend
[Pre-Chorus]
I took some turns that broke our home
Signed the papers
Left you both alone
If I could trade all I’ve ever been
I’d bring us back again
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If you wonder
Did I care
Play this loud
Know I’m there
Every birthday
Every tear
I’m the voice
In your ear
Saying
“Shine
Shine
Shine
Callie
You’re gonna be fine” (woah)
I’m the fool who learned too late
But I’ll wait
I’ll wait
[Chorus]
