Mimi Lyrics

She held her hands above my hips and knees

She was searching for the light and heat in me

I closed my eyes to the colors in my mind

And she drew lines over me

Until we fell asleep

One night I think I tried to run away

But first I looked inside her door

And there was she, awake just for me

She wrapped me in her rosy hair and held me there

Until we fell asleep

She said,

If you feel like a child

Just come to me

I'll be your guide

I know you inside, I know you inside

She stayed up all night and she prayed for me

She slipped a thread under my door and she

Wrapped it round me tight and clenched her eyes with all her might

Rocking her body back and forth

She doesn't do that anymore

She says,

If you feel like a child,

Just sit and breathe

I'm not your guide

The balance isn't right

Ooh, Ooh

I had to see her face and tell her why

She hadn't heard from me in quite some time

I thought it meant we couldn't be friends

The things she needed I couldn't provide

When she said

If you feel like a child

You can always sit with me

We walk in stride

I love you
