You used to follow me around,

Everywhere I'd go.

Asked a million questions,

Wanted to know everything I know.

I'd get annoyed back then,

Tell you leave me alone

But you'd just sit outside my door,

Waiting till I'd come back out

Now I wish you'd follow me again

Like when we were ten.

You used to follow me

Now you're living your own life.

Making your own choices

Going your own way.

But when I close my eyes I see

That kid who wouldn't leave.

No matter where you go

You're not going anywhere.

Remember staying up late

Under blanket forts we'd make.

Said we'd never fall asleep

Out by nine.

Now we text sometimes

"How are you" "I'm fine"

But sometimes I hear your voice

Asking "Can I come in?"

We grew up, went different ways

But you never really left

You used to follow me,

Now you're living your own life.

Making your own choices,

Going your own way.

But when I close my eyes I see

That kid who wouldn't leave.

No matter where you go

You're not going anywhere.

Maybe we don't talk each day

But you're not going anywhere.

Don't care how far you are,

You're right here.

You used to follow me

Now you're all grown up.

Doing your own thing,

Living your own life.

But you're still to me

That kid who wouldn't leave.

I miss you

wherever you are now

I miss you...

You used to follow me around

I miss that
