If someone’s gonna love you lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're a child and I'm your mother
Say goodbye to your friends between the laughter
And I'm sort of the one you want
Sort of the one you want

[Verse 2]
And before we go back to each other
Smoking before two p.m. is over
And I'm sort of cooking you a meal
And the door is open for you, dear

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I wrote to you last in a video game
In the journal I typed out your name
Well I wrote to you last in the butter on your bread
The footprints in the dirt
The wrinkles in your bed

[Chorus]
If someone’s gonna love you, let it be me
When you’re glowing with naivety
Son I wrote to you last in an essay
To impress you
You impress me
Son I wrote to you last with the sunscreen on your face
The footprints in the dirt
For you I’d leave a trace

(If someone’s gonna love you)
(Let it be me)
(Let it be me)

A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, four

And before we come back to each other
You’ll be a guide and a friend and a lover [?]

And the more we come back to each other
You [?] on your friends between the laughter
If someone’s gonna love you let it be me
