Was awkward as a kid and not much better now
Found a way to breathe and make it through somehow
Put my best foot forward even when it kept me down
I guess I felt safe with my feet on the ground
Always wanted to grind a rail fly through the sky like a nightingale
Come down when the earth calls my name
Always wanted to slide the lip turn backside into a kickflip
Always wanted to do what the cool kids did
Now I got my own a skater kid
I’ve watched you grow I’ve watched you outpace me
In questioning and in flying free
You’ve always had your balance gliding up above
I swear we find our purpose in the ones we love
Always wanted to grind a rail fly through the sky like a nightingale
Come down when the earth calls my name
Always wanted to slide the lip turn backside into a kickflip
Always wanted to do what the cool kids did
Now I got my own a skater kid
Some moments we move and some we just sit still
The roots we share are invincible
And if you fly too close to the sun you know I got your hand
And when the winds are circling I’ll be there when you land
Always wanted to grind a rail fly through the sky like a nightingale
Come down when the earth calls my name
Always wanted to slide the lip turn backside into a kickflip
Always wanted to do what the cool kids did
Now I got my own a skater kid
Was awkward as a kid and not much better now
