RASPBERRY SEEDS

Raspberry seeds, stuck in between your baby teeth
Blueberry juice, staining your tulip cheeks
Baby’s first steps, holding on to my two legs
And I was only 21, your mother was only 18

And I’m trying, trying harder than I’ve tried before
Oh baby, I’m trying. Trying harder than I’ve tried before

Down with the training wheels, this family learns by scraping their knees
You have your mother’s eyes but your face looks a lot like mine
We only take video of memories
Your mother is 21, and I turned 25 today

And I’m trying, trying harder than I’ve tried before
Oh baby, I’m trying. Trying harder than I’ve tried before
Oh baby, I’m trying. Trying harder than I’ve tried before
