Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Two sets of shoes

Parked by the door

Yours still muddy from

Playing in the yard before

Mom on the couch

Talking low with the TV on

I hear the words

But I know something’s wrong

[Chorus]

So I stay strong in my mind

Hold this house from the inside

I’m a kid on the outside

But I’m older than my years tonight

Got my brothers on my left and right

If they fall

I’m gonna make it right

I can’t slow down

I can’t disappear

I’m older than my years

[Verse 2]

Bills on the table

Names I don’t understand

Nurses in the hallway

Plastic bracelets on her hand

You ask me

“Is she okay?”

I say

“Yeah

She’s just tired today”

Swallow my fear

So you don’t see it in my face

[Chorus]

I stay strong in my mind

Hold this house from the inside

I’m a kid on the outside

But I’m older than my years tonight

Got my brothers on my left and right

If they fall

I’m gonna make it right

I can’t break down when the pain gets near

I’m older than my years

[Bridge]

I make your cereal

Pack your bag (hey)

Learn to sign where they draw the lines

Tuck you in

Then fall apart

In the dark

Where nobody finds

But every time we laugh in the kitchen light

Every time she smiles through the tired eyes

I remember why I fight

Why I fight

[Chorus]

I stay strong in my mind

Hold this house from the inside

We were kids on the outside

But we’re older than our years tonight

Got my brothers on my left and right (oh yeah)

And our mama in the hardest fight

Hand in hand

We’re still all here

We’re older than our years

[Outro]

Two sets of shoes

Parked by the door

I’ll be watching over you

Till you don’t need watching anymore

I would like a song about staying strong in your mind and having to overcome struggles and hardship with family with two brothers and mom who gets sick and having to grow up to fast and to watch over
