Uma - Yeasayer

And in our overlapping lives, 30 years on either side

never thought I’d be surprised that I’m alive when you’re alive.

When I stare into your eyes my reflection falls aside

can’t always get you to stop crying

but we both know you’ll be fine.

Uma, Uma, let out a little sigh to let me know you’re mine, Uma.

Try not to make the old mistake, tell you I love you every day.

Find your own way to rebel and you can lie about yourself.

When our thoughts really connect

I know you need my sound effects.

Hope I still can make you smile when I get to be senile.

Uma, Uma, let out a little sigh to let me know you’re mine, Uma.

Hope I don’t pass down all my flaws to Uma.

I hear my frustration in your calls

I’m here to break your fall.

I’ll miss you when you’re grown up, Uma.

Uma
