No More Kings Missy
[Verse 1]
No sandals on her feet, they're far too risky
A note tucked in her lunchbox says, "be careful, Missy."
She knows it's only love
But somehow it's slowly closing in
Helmet on her head, she's in her rollerskates
And every car that passes her feels like she's tempting fate
At home she's not alone
But she can't help the feeling she's
[Chorus 1]
Watching life go by
[Verse 2]
Tip-toes down the hall, her face grows pale
Counts each stair behind her now, hand on the guardrail
She knows she holds too tight
Not everything can fit just right
[Chorus 2]
Watching life go by
Watching life go by
Life
Go by
[Verse 3]
Dancing in daydreams
In moments it all will melt away
And leave behind the traces
Of splashing in puddles but, she's left with her fear again
Staring out the window jealous of the rain
Skipping home from school, laces slip untied
She crouches down to fix them but then changes her mind
She knows she'll be just fine
One step at a time
[Chorus 3]
Watching life go by
Watching life go by
Life
Watching life go by
