"Mother's Milk Breath" lyrics

"Mother's Milk Breath"

Me and you, kid
Home alone
Learning how to live

You
For the first time
And me
Well... it's been a long time coming

The hardest
Part
Is getting
Started

One
Foot falls in front
Of the other

One
Word spills out
After another

Now you try...

I'm long winter sick
Baby stir-crazy
And there are days
When doubts arise
They simmer and subside

For you, little Miss
Mother's Milk Breath
When the Sun gets tired
I'll hang the moon

And soon, little Miss
Limitless Interest
When the Moon catches fire
We'll start a new day of school

Do you know where your mouth is?
Or how to tell a lie?
Do you know what desire is?
You will in time...

Me and you, kid
Learning how to live
With these tired eyes
And thin skin
