1.i was born
2.in a sudden embrace, i’m awake
3.so i study the shape of your face
4.you take what you’re given
5.“i only wanna do what’s good for you”6.
7.then at once,
8.i’m checking the doors and my weight
9.i can’t keep my hands from my face
10.i said, “mom, i’m so sorry,”
11.she smiled and said,
12.“darling, i don’t want you to worry cus13.
14.i’m on your side for the rest of your life
15.you’ll never be alone, don’t you worry my child
16.and now there’s an empty room you outgrew,
17.but i’m here for you
18.Ooh”19.

20.and i’ve known
21.the feeling you’ve had when you’re held
22.the comfort of being unwell
23.so something can cradle you
24.oh, i don’t need it
25.oh, i won’t grieve it 26.
27.i’m on your side for the rest of your life
28.you’ll never be alone, don’t you worry my child
29.and now there’s an empty room you outgrew,
30.but i’m here for you
31.Ooh”32.
33.i’ll do right by you
34.i only wanna do what’s best for you35.
36.i’m on your side for the rest of your life
37.you’ll never be alone, don’t you worry my child
38.and though there’s an empty room you outgrew,
39.i’ll wait for you,
40.Ooh”41.
42.i’m on your side for the rest of your life
43.you’ll never be alone, don’t you worry my child
44.and now there’s an empty room you outgrew,
45.but i’m here for you
46.ooh”

「Porter Robinson」Comment

I wanted a song that expressed the love that I feel for my parents—as well as the grief of growing up. I felt like the minute I moved out, my youth would be over and I’d hardly ever see my family or dog again. In reality it wasn’t like that at all, I still see them all the time. But I wanted to capture the sad side of growing up—of realizing your parents aren’t infallible.
