All you want is her,
She’s standing five feet off the ground,
And you’re missing her
But you’re all the way across the country now,
Her friends post a picture of her sleeping
Her hands are wrapped around her arms,
You begin to wonder how her body feels,
And you miss the scent of her hair,
But you’re all the way across the country now,
She’s so small and beautiful,
Her aspirations are out of this world,
She’s not near you anymore,
But you still want that little girl.
