[Verse 1]
I was six when you left the room
Box of toys
Sunday shoes
Everybody saying words I didn't understand
I kept asking when you'd be back
They kept staring at the cracks
In that floor
Holding my little hand
[Chorus]
Do you see me now?
In every small
Scared step I took somehow
Did you watch me learn
How to fall
How to fight
How to crash and burn?
Am I anything like the dream you drew of me?
Do you see me now?
Would you be proud if you could see?
[Verse 2]
First game
I looked in the stands
Empty seat
Folded hands
Swore I heard you shouting my name in the crowd
Graduation
Rented gown
Shaky smile
Quiet town
Saved a chair for the shape of you
Front row
Loud
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I still talk to you in traffic
At red lights
In grocery lines
Tell you 'bout the bills and the bad days
And the good days when the sun finally shines
I hope you see the way I’m loving
How I stay when it gets tough
I hope you know I'm still becoming
But I am trying hard enough
[Chorus]
[Outro]
If you're somewhere past the ceiling
Past the sky
Past every doubt
I hope you recognize this heartbeat
And whisper back
I see you now
