[Verse 1]
Well, there's a hole wearing through this couch of mine
And all the cushions are falling out, one little piece at a time
You might see yourself in me, but I don't see nobody I know
This isn't the way I figured it would be when I figured it a long time ago
A long time ago

[Verse 2]
Well, there's a rule me and my little boy have
You've got to say "I love you" before you close your eyes
And he can dream himself to sleep and I can pray or cry
One thing I have taught him well is to never wonder why
Why wonder why?

[Chorus]
And I see Mars, reflecting in my little boy's brown eyes
And he says "Mama, I'm gonna get there someday
Mama, I'm gonna get there someday"
And I say "Fly"

[Verse 3]
Well, you can hold the whole entire world in your hands
Or you can borrow all of your lessons from me
Well, life is not a question, son, I tell him life is just a dream
And it's not as bad as it looks right now, because nothing's as bad as it seems
Not as it seems
