Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Cold coffee on the counter Cartoons hum in the other room Same stain on the same old sweater Same four walls, same perfume Scroll past faces buying houses New careers and wedding rings I’m knee-deep in dirty dishes Freeze-framing all the little things [Pre-Chorus] Are they racing toward the sunrise? Am I glued down to this floor? Every year they grow a size I’m still in last year’s war [Chorus] I’m stuck behind while the world keeps driving Waving from a window they don’t see Lonely sad mom in a slow-mo silence Everybody changing, everybody but me Days get longer, life gets shorter Like sand through fingers I can’t hold I’m stuck behind, but I’m still trying To find a future in this fold [Verse 2] My friends talk in vacation pictures Office doors and office fights I talk in snack times, bedtime whispers Kitchen light at 2 at night Mirror shows the years I traded For small hands wrapped around my neck Love so loud it leaves me shaking Dreams I shelved to keep us fed [Pre-Chorus] If I chase what’s left inside me Will I drop what matters most? Every wish feels like a secret I just send to some lost coast [Chorus] I’m stuck behind while the world keeps driving Waving from a window they don’t see Lonely sad mom in a slow-mo silence Everybody changing, everybody but me Days get longer, life gets shorter Like sand through fingers I can’t hold I’m stuck behind, but I’m still trying To find a future in this fold [Bridge] What if I’m not only mother? What if I’m still also me? (yeah) Can I carry both these stories In one tired body? If I take one step tomorrow Even if it’s small, half-blind Maybe being a little broken Doesn’t mean I stay behind [Chorus] I’m stuck behind while the world keeps driving But there’s a little engine in my chest (hey) Lonely sad mom learning slow revival Singing through the mess, doing my best Days get longer, life gets shorter So I’ll write my name across this sky I’m stuck behind, but I’m still fighting To let my own life pass me by
