Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sunday coffee at their table
Hands that once could lift the world
Now they shake around the sugar
Still he winks at her like girl
Photo frames along the hallway
Frozen summers
Missing teeth
I grew taller
They grew smaller
How’d the years run out on me
[Chorus]
I see my future in their faces
Every wrinkle
Every grace is
Every road I’m scared to take and
Every night I’ve thrown away
I’m growing up as they grow older
Heart gets heavy
World feels colder
Still I’m reaching for a shoulder
Eyes like yesterday
[Verse 2]
Dad says
“Son
I had my chances
Stayed too quiet
Stayed too safe”
Mom just laughs and holds his finger
Says
“We still made something great” (mm-hmm)
I’ve been chasing crowded cities
Empty glasses
Bright hotel
Kissing strangers
Leaving early
Trying to outrun myself
[Chorus]
I see my future in their faces
Every wrinkle
Every grace is
Every road I’m scared to take and
Every night I’ve thrown away
If I keep hiding from the daylight
Will I die inside the same fight
Or find a hand to hold at midnight
Eyes like yesterday
[Bridge]
Will I learn to stay
When I’m afraid
Can I lay my armor down someday
If love is just
A hundred little choices
I pray I hear it in their voices
[Chorus]
I see my future in their faces
All the could-have-beens and maybes
All the ways that love can save me
When I finally choose to stay
If I grow kinder when I’m older
Let my arms be someone’s shelter
I’ll be looking for that shoulder
Eyes like yesterday
Yeah
I’m hoping for that shoulder
Eyes like yesterday
