What if my baby started running?

What if she swallowed all the sea?

What if I hate who I'm becoming

And my young heart never runs free?

What if the sparrows start free wheeling?

Dot to dot the atmosphere

What if my tired arms were squeezing

Onto moments held so dear?

I'm just afraid that I'm failing

I'm just afraid that I'm done

I'm just afraid that I'm washed up

and dried out and the water ain't gonna save me

What if she's fixed but somehow broken?

All the talking makes her cry

And that home she built won't open

Any guest will bleed her dry

But what if stars were in her ceiling?

And the planets in her eyes

And the glimmers of that feeling

Made her see a hopeful sky

'Cause I'm just afraid that I'm failing

I'm just afraid that I'm done

I'm just afraid that I'm washed out

and dried up and the water ain't gonna save me
