[Verse 1]
You’re folding tiny onesies on the bed
I’m counting days like change in my hand
Bracelet on my ankle in my head already
Trying to be stronger than I am
You say “feel him kicking, put your hand right here”
Your fingers pull me in by my sleeve
We got paint on the crib and a half-fixed door
And a clock we both pretend we don’t see
[Chorus]
Two weeks, three weeks
Life’s about to change on us both ways
You’ll be holding our boy
I’ll be held in one small space
You say love ain’t measured
By how far a man can roam
Two weeks, three weeks
But my heart ain’t leaving home
[Verse 2]
You lay my paperwork next to the ultrasound
Side by side on the kitchen table
You laugh through tears, say “guess we always knew
Our story wouldn’t fit some label”
You talk about the first cry, first night, first ride
And how you’ll drive him ‘round to see me
Through glass and a gate at the edge of town
But you swear he’s still gonna know his daddy
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’m scared you’ll be tired
I’m scared I’ll miss it all
First breath, first yawn, first midnight call
But you take my hands, say
“Look what we already came through
If he’s got my eyes and your fight
He’s gonna pull us too”
[Chorus]
