LYRICS
Dear little lump of cells I don’t know you well enough
To introduce you to my friends or let alone myself
But I’ll do my best, baby
I grew up skinning knees on concrete driveways
Playing four square on the playground with the green trees above
and I knew lots of pain, but I knew love
All I ever wanted was to sing along to CDs
In the backseat on a Walkman and I’d fly from my body
I was on the stage, weightless
But I never wanted to be known for what I did
I dreamed a dream of being what nobody expected
And here I am, pregnant
There ain’t no guarantees we’ll meet you they say
But if there’s a chance I’ll take it and I’ll sing for you today
Oh I’ll sing for you, baby
I met your daddy on a milk crate in a moving van
and I knew he had the stuff it takes to show up for his friends
And now so will you, baby
Our love was quiet but we heard it well
It called us up from where we were and let us be ourselves
And that’s all we need, baby
So dear little lump of cells, we can’t wait to know you well
To introduce you to our friends and raise a little hell
Oh we’ll do our best, baby
