Eva Westphal - Adult

{Verse 1}
I will wake you up at seven in the morning
I will make you breakfast while you're dreading school
I will sit there with you 'til you're done
Say "I know baby, it's not fun but it's what you gotta do"
I will walk with you until we reach the bus stop
I will pack the snacks you need to eat that day
I will watch you board the bus and say "Call me if things get tough"
And I will wave at you until it drives away

{Chorus}
And I will shout your story 'cause you kept it quiet
I will not stand down when they ask for your silence
And when you need somebody older to tell you it's not your fault
I'll be that adult, that adult
I'll be that adult, that adult

{Verse 2}
I will drive you to the shitty high school party
I will pour you water and tell you that it's beer
And when you slur to me that life's unfair
I'll just agree and stroke your hair
And wish that you could see that I am here
And I will tuck you into bed when you get sleepy
I will look at you and wish you knew 'bout me
Because the rules of this time travel say I'm not allowed to tell you
That we're happier now that we're twenty-three

{Chorus}
And how you shout your story 'cause you kept it quiet
And how you don't stand down when they ask for our silence
And 'cause you needed somebody older to tell you it's not your fault
You became that adult, that adult
We became that adult, that adult
