Only Child Songtext
von Marcus Mumford

On my shoulder as we laid awake
And you always loved a smoke by eight
′Cause baby don't mind
Gets never colder than when the daylight breaks
Do you now regret the bed we made?
Does it cross your mind?
Well baby, does it cross your mind?

I did not intend to slow you down, mm
Even hoped that we would′ve spoke by now
I was acting like an only child


What takes forever is a lesson learned
I have nothing to show for the medals I've earned
And maybe I mind
'Cause no one′s ever seen me traipsing in
I′ve been hiding from all the places I've been
And sore from trying
And acting like an only child

But I did not intend to slow you down, oh
Even though I′d hope we'd have spoke by now
Maybe we were only lying

Heaven′s closing, they're still pouring drinks
And of all those crazy ways you think
I love you lying
But I can′t reason with the past we face
I'm sorry for the mess we made
And if you want, we'll pick through my mistakes
You′ll see me crying
But maybe we could put it all behind

I did not intend to force your hand, oh
Even though we swore we′d understand
Maybe we'll be always trying

We′ll be always trying
