Big Brother, Little Lucie

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You’re five feet tall in my shadow Pink shoes Glitter on your face You tug my sleeve in the doorway “Come see my secret place” Plastic crowns on the carpet Markers open on your bed You tell me stories ’bout dragons With spaghetti on your head (hey!) [Chorus] I’m twenty-one and you’re just five Lucie World’s too big But you’re not losing me I’ll walk slow when the days move fast Hold your hand Let the hard parts pass I’m twenty-one and you’re just five Lucie You’re the one that keeps my heart this free Every year that the numbers change Big brother’s love stays the same [Verse 2] You climb the couch like a mountain Shouting “Watch I’m not afraid” You paint the dog with your yoghurt Call the mess a fairytale parade You fall asleep during movies Head heavy on my arm You dream out loud in your whispers I swear I’ll keep you safe from harm (oh yeah) [Chorus] I’m twenty-one and you’re just five Lucie World’s too big But you’re not losing me I’ll walk slow when the days move fast Hold your hand Let the hard parts pass I’m twenty-one and you’re just five Lucie You’re the one that keeps my heart this free Every year that the numbers change Big brother’s love stays the same [Bridge] One day you’ll be twenty I’ll be somewhere past these years You’ll wear shoes that fit you better Maybe trade your dolls for tears But when life feels like it’s too much And your bright thoughts start to blur Call my name like you do right now I’ll still come running to her (Lucie) [Chorus] I’m twenty-one and you’re just five Lucie World’s too big But you’re not losing me I’ll walk slow when the days move fast Hold your hand Let the hard parts pass I’m twenty-one and you’re just five Lucie You’re the one that keeps my heart this free Every year that the numbers change Big brother’s love stays the same
