Like Smoke

Heart's beating in my chest
Remind me I'm alive
Deep breath to fill my lungs
Try and tell myself it will be alright
This is something I still want
But not something that I need
And this changing world around us
Is taking its toll on me
I'm starting to lose my grip
And my ropes aren't on belay
Try to grab you and hold on
But like smoke you slip through my fingers
Too soon to grow up
Don't drag me with you into harsh reality
Stay here in these of last rays of bliss
Of childhood innocence
I don't want to let you go
But I'm afraid its time to say goodbye
You're growing up beyond my reach
And so with a kiss we die.
