Entropy's Heir - Different Seasons, Same Room

Watching your wife as your kids grow up, and how she grows with them.



Lyrics:

Morning light on a carpet floor
A tea set lined by the kitchen door
You’re down on your knees with a crown of lace
Teaching the smallest how to hold her place
And I’m right here in the quiet shade
Watching a memory being made

Time doesn't wait for a single breath
It just keeps giving and taking left

So I sit back and I let it be
Different seasons in front of me
One still learning how to run
One already halfway gone
Different ages, different tunes
Same old love filling up the room
I see you growing, every one of you
And I’m falling in love with the view

Afternoon with the middle one
Paint on her hands, lipstick on
You’re laughing loud, you don’t even care
Letting her climb on your favorite chair
She’s got your fire, your stubborn side
And I see you softer when she cries

Your eyes got wiser, your hands got strong
And somehow you’re even more what I want

So I sit back and I let it be
Different seasons in front of me
One still learning how to run
One already halfway gone
Different ages, different tunes
Same old love filling up the room
I see you growing, every one of you
And I’m falling in love with the view

Evening comes with the oldest girl
Borrowed clothes and a bigger world
You’re fixing her hair, you’re giving advice
Pretending you don’t worry half the night
And I catch your face in the window’s shine
You’re not the girl I met, you’re more with time

Your laugh is quieter, your heart is wide
And I’m loving the woman you’re becoming inside

So I sit back and I let it be
Different seasons in front of me
One still learning how to run
One already halfway gone
Different ages, different tunes
Same old love filling up the room
I see you growing, every one of you
And I’m falling in love with the view

One day they won’t need your hand to stand
One day your house will echo again
And you’ll be looking at me that way
Like we did before the world got in the way

Now you’re softer and you’re stronger too
Still chasing dreams, just a different view
They’re growing up and you’re growing on
And I’m loving every version I’m seeing of you

So I sit back and I let it be
Different seasons in front of me
Three different hearts, three different skies
One steady love in your tired eyes
Different ages, different tunes
Same old love filling up the room
I see you growing, every one of you
And I’m falling in love with the view

Yeah, I see the girls and the woman you are
In every small change, in every small scar
And I don’t say a word, I just stay
And let the years roll by this way
