Lyrics

Before I have a daughter
I wanna build myself a garden
The kind I’ll have to water on the bad days
And the good ones too

And then I’ll try college
And realize that it’s not for me
And the takeaway is a heart will break in the time it takes
To make lemonade out of my family tree
And then I'll grow up
Make mistakes
And find a way to find some dumb luck

And then I’ll start believing
That life is a merry go round holding me down
Until I started to see that
This ride was only building me up just look at me now
Making peace and making up for all the lost time
Learning how to see myself through my mothers eyes
Before I have a daughter

I’ve always been a driver
Guided by my fear and my ability to dream
A stubborn northstar fighter
And I’m terrified that one day she’ll get that from me
I have to watch her grow up
Make mistakes the way I did when I was like she was

And then I’ll start believing
That life is a merry go round holding me down
Until I started to see that
This ride was only building me up just look at me now
Making peace and making up for all the lost time
Learning how to love without compromise
Before I have a daughter

Mmmm

And I’m growing up
Making mistakes breaking the chains before I break anymore hearts

Before I have a daughter
I wanna build myself a garden
The kind I have to water on the good days and the bad ones too
