Little Boy

I was only ten years old
 
 Like the back of my hand, knew the roads
 I swerved my bike and lost control
 Over the handles in the air
 A lady who came walking by found me lying there
 And the nurse at the hospital said
 "Little boy, don't be scared
 Now your father is waiting in the next room
 Little boy, don't be sad
 Now your mom's on her way, you'll be out of here soon"
 Mmh, mmh
 ♪
 We drove so slowly through these streets
 In the suburbs of our dreams, mmh
 At night my father closed his eyes
 He saw the new car in the drive
 My mother standing in the doorway
 Friday night, a smile on her face
 And the voice I can hear in my head
 "Little boy, don't be scared
 Now you know we'll be sleeping in the next room
 Little boy, don't be sad
 Now tomorrow is as it is coming 'round soon"
 Mmh
 Mmh
 ♪
 We only need a little space
 Just somewhere we could call our place
 My mother standing in the doorway
 Friday night, a smile on her face
 These things always start so small
 With no applause and no drum roll
 And I came running up the hallway
 See the car turn in the driveway
 Mmh
 And I'll always be that little boy
 And I've always been that little boy
 Yeah, I'll always be that little boy
 And I'll always be that little boy
