lyrics

I’m just a boy
I’m just a boy
With my bubble intact and my sense of joy
I’m just a boy

I’m just a child
I’m just a child
I’m just a child my condition is less than mild
I’m just a child

I tuck the sun beneath the horizon
With the moon as my night light
The world will hold my hand
As I fall asleep with my head in the chest of the land

I’m just a baby
I’m just a baby
With my bubble intact and my sense of maybe
I’m just a baby

I was just a man
I was just a man
It’s just that I had a terrible plan

I tuck the sun beneath the horizon
With the moon as my night light
The world will hold my hand
As I fall asleep with my head in the chest of the land

With my shovel in my hand
I bury the past in the sand
The future’s held together with a rubber band
As I fall asleep with my head i n the chest of the land
