"7" lyrics

We grew up down by the water
Minutes off the Hudson Line
Scared to be my parents' daughter
Four doors from a dead-end sign
And I hated you when we were younger
At least back then, I thought I did
So afraid you'd blow my cover
That I was just a little kid

Maybe one day down the line
You're gonna say it was fine
No, I never said the words out loud
Hope you know I mean it now
And I know one day we'll be fine

Well, it's something you just can't steal back
The feeling that we used to have
The time was stone instead of glass
Catching light

And maybe one day down the line
You're gonna say it was fine
No, I never said the words out loud
Hope you know I mean it now
And I know one day we'll be fine

So I'll burn the proof
It's no one else's language to lose

I still know you like I did before
Like grooves in our old kitchen floor
And knots on every sycamore
We would climb
It's only time
