[Verse 1]
You’re asleep in the backseat
Shoes kicked off
One sock gone
Crayon hearts on the window
You hum a half-made song
You ask the hardest questions
Like
“Dad
How big is sky?”
I stumble through an answer
You just laugh and roll your eyes
[Chorus]
I never knew my heart could stretch this far
’Til you wrapped your tiny fingers ’round my scars
Every fear I had falls quiet in your arms
My little girl
My little star
I’d give you all I am
All I am
My little star
[Verse 2]
Breakfast burns on the Sunday
You’re dancing in the spill
Cereal on your pajamas
You say
“I like chaos still” (hey!)
Tiny crown made of foil
You say
“Today I rule”
You sit me down at your table
Serve tea from plastic jewels
[Chorus]
I never knew my heart could stretch this far
’Til you wrapped your tiny fingers ’round my scars
Every fear I had falls quiet in your arms
My little girl
My little star
I’d give you all I am
All I am
My little star
[Bridge]
One day you’ll drive this car
Seat pulled up
Mirror changed
I’ll be waving from the driveway
So proud
So scared
Amazed
But even when the road
Takes you somewhere far
You’ll always be that backseat dreamer
My little star (oh)
[Chorus]
I never knew my heart could stretch this far
’Til you wrapped your tiny fingers ’round my scars
Every fear I had falls quiet in your arms
My little girl
My little star
I’d give you all I am
All I am
My little star
Oooh
