Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] New key Old house Got boxes on the floor, new couch Got a name in my phone that I don’t know “Stepson” Kinda heavy word though Mirror talk, hands shake, fix my hair What do I even say when he’s standing there I ain’t the one who gave him his first breath But I’m praying I can help him catch his next [Chorus] Come in, I’m Kim, I’ve been waiting for you (yeah) Got a chair at this table, got a front row view To the man you’re becoming, I wanna see you through You don’t have to call me mama, I’ll still fight like one for you If you need somebody you can run to I can be the one that you look up to [Verse 2] Doorbell rings, heart jumps, that’s him Little bit of him, little bit of him in him See his eyes, see the walls he built tall See the “I don’t trust easy” written on the drywall I say, “Shoes off, you can leave your guard too” He laughs once, like “Who exactly are you?” I say, “I’m just the woman that chose your dad But I’m hoping I can choose you twice as bad” [Chorus] Come in, I’m Kim, I’ve been waiting for you (come through) Got a chair at this table, got a front row view To the man you’re becoming, I wanna see you through You don’t have to call me mama, I’ll still fight like one for you If you need somebody you can run to I can be the one that you look up to [Bridge] I know you miss her on the big days (yeah) Empty picture on the big stage If you ever feel small in your own skin Let me be the voice in your corner saying “step in” (step in) You ain’t half of anything, boy, you’re whole You’re the captain, I’m the coat in the cold You can hate me, blame me, cry on my sleeve I’ll still be right here when you finally breathe [Chorus] Come in, I’m Kim, I’ve been waiting for you (for you) Got a chair at this table, got a front row view To the man you’re becoming, I wanna see you through You don’t have to call me mama, I’ll still fight like one for you If you need somebody you can run to I can be the one that you look up to Come in, I’m Kim, this is home for you You don’t have to say you love me I’ll go first and love you through
