Like I Do lyrics
by Dylan Gossett
[Verse 1]
Sayin' life was good, couldn't scratch the surface
Drinkin' water out the hose, it was perfect
Didn't take too long for us to learn it
Everything goin' on had a purpose
Runnin' down the hill, y'all were runnin' beside me
Picked the berries through the fence by the high beam
Maybe later we can put 'em in some ice cream
Watch a movie and hide from the lightning
[Verse 2]
A few years later and it's daylight savings
On the back of the truck, y'all were waitin'
Fireworks in the sky but they're fadin'
Not much, but I sworn that we made it
I'm standin' six feet tall, at least that's what I told ya
And the kids were gettin' high, I was sober
Yeah, you'd be proud though, you didn't even know it
Oh, you'd be proud, but you didn't even know it
[Chorus]
And the streetlights are turnin' on a little early
I don't know if I should get home
And I'm not a kid no more, but without me
I know that you'll worry on
Am I in my way? Do you know I'm safe?
Am I doing what l'm supposed to do?
Oh, what I'm supposed to do
Do you remember it like I do?
[Verse 3]
Then I moved away when we were closer than ever
I would call just to make me feel better
Tryin' hard to put my life back together
I think of you and the dew when there's weather
And I forgot where I was, when I lost my name
'Cause growin' old and growin' up just ain't the same
Head down to the ground, tryna play the game
Sun's down in my head, I can hear you say
[Chorus]
Oh, the streetlights are turnin' on a little early
I don't know if I should get home
And I'm not a kid no more but without you
I just worry on
Am I in my way? Do you know I'm safe?
Am I doing what l'm supposed to do?
Oh, what I'm supposed to do
Do you remember it like I do?
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Now I'm watching videos with dates on the corner
Blake's a kid, and I was even younger
Those days, every year, we would wonder
Are we still to be kids any longer?
Mom's holding the camera, Dad's making us laugh
High chair, blonde hair, days don't really last
You say it doesn't really feel like the past
'Cause the slowest days seem to be gone too fast
