There's a reflection so hard to see
Reflection in the water, of what you can be
Wave crashes over, tides pull you under
If you've ever wondered why you barely breath
All of the ways I wish I could have shown you
All of the things I want you to know right now
All of the ways I wish I could protect you
From all the things that you'll learn on your own somehow
As you grow older and live through the war
Before you know it the eyes of the storm will rain upon you
Not like you ever knew, know like you've never seen
Like never before
All of the ways I wish I could have shown you
All of the things I want you to know right now
All of the ways I wish I could protect you
From all the things that you'll learn on your own somehow
These ugly places I don't want you to see
These smiling faces I don't want you to meet
Your hearts extended out
They'll try to tear it out
You'll never be without the love that's between you and me
All of the ways I wish I could have shown you
All of the things that I want you know right now
All the ways I wish I could protect you
From all the things that you'll learn on your own somehow
