Uma Songtext
von Yeasayer

And in our overlapping lives, 30 years on either side
Never thought I′d be surprised that I'm alive when you′re alive.
When I stare into your eyes my reflection falls aside
Can't always get you to stop crying
But we both know you'll be fine.

Uma, Uma, let out a little sigh to let me know you′re mine, Uma.


Try not to make the old mistake, tell you I love you every day.
Find your own way to rebel and you can lie about yourself.
When our thoughts really connect
I know you need my sound effects.
Hope I still can make you smile when I get to be senile.

Uma, Uma, let out a little sigh to let me know you′re mine, Uma.

Hope I don't pass down all my flaws to Uma.
I hear my frustration in your calls
I′m here to break your fall.
I'll miss you when you′re grown up, Uma.
Uma
