Teach Me How - Moonrise Nation

For one second you’re still here

Breathing deeper than you have this whole year

I lie awake haunted by change

And how little time there seems to be in each day

Ah-ah-ah-ah

So teach me how to love more deeply

Teach me how to always reach for the ceiling

Teach me how to take a step over the line

And not live my life without daring to try

So teach me how to walk real tall

And lift my head up high and know that I am strong

Do you know what it’s like to lose your daughter?

Shot down from the sky when she just learned how to fly

I try so hard to remember how to breathe

And how to feel the ground beneath my feet

Ah-ah, ah-ah

I remember when she used to hold me

Her glow as warm as the sunbeams

What I would give for her just to hold me one last time

But now she’s gone and all I have is myself and this fleeting time

Ah-ah-ah-ah

So teach me how to love more deeply

Teach me how to always reach for the ceiling

Teach me how to take a step over the line

And not live my life without daring to try

So teach me how to walk real tall

And lift my head up high and know that I am strong

Do you know what it’s like to lose your daughter?

Shot down from the sky when she just learned how to fly
