"You see, I'm all grown up now"

He said,
"Just put your feet down child,
'Cause you're all grown up now"

Just like a photograph,
I pick you up
Just like a station on the radio,
I pick you up
Just like a face in the crowd,
I pick you up
Just like a feeling that you're sending out,
I pick it up
But I can't let you go
If I let you go,
You slip into the fog

This love was big enough for the both of us
This love of yours was big enough to be frightened of
It's deep and dark, like the water was,
The day I learned to swim

He said,
"Just put your feet down, child

"Just put your feet down child,
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently,
Then you can swim to me"

Is this love big enough to watch over me?
Big enough to let go of me
Without hurting me,
Like the day I learned to swim?

"'Cause you're all grown up now

Just put your feet down, child,
The water is only waist high
I'll let go of you gently,
Then you can swim to me"
