Oh, I wish I'd had help back then
Oh, I wish I'd had better friends
I was lost out there in the cold
Oh, the cost felt immeasurable
Yeah, I tried to go it alone
Yeah, I lied to everyone back home
Oh, the days they were turning black
Could not believe the light would come back

Until it did, bit by bit
I remembered how to do it
I got through, and I'll be fine
Still, I wish someone had been there at the time

Oh, I grew (oh, she grew)
Into a new shape (into a new shape)
Something new (something new)
A foreign landscape
With no trees, not a drop of rain
Would not believe things could grow from pain

Until they did, ledge by ledge
I saw a baby bird raise its head
I got through, yeah, I'll be fine
Still, I wish someone had been there at the time
Yeah, I wish someone had been there at the time
