"Preservation" lyrics

If I stayed with you
Longer than I had to
Would I know the light
Shining in my bedroom?

And I ain't my mother
You are your father's son
I am right behind you
I know I will find my one to hold on to

My life, my heart
Just keeps on beating
And would you comfort me
They say our tide has been receding

And I ain't my mother
You are your father's son
I am right behind you
I know I will find the one to hold on to

And listen to the words
Forward movement, never easy
And I could tell
I was lying to myself

And I ain't my mother
You are your father's son
I am right behind you
I know I will find my one to hold on to
