[Verse 1]
Hey baby girl
It's been awhile since we talked
I've just been thinking
While your father's walking the dogs
There's so much I could say to you
So much that I won't
But if I go tomorrow
Then I just need you to know

[Chorus]
That I'm sorry
I was kicking the dirt, you didn't deserve
How I hardly
Loved you like you needed
It was partly
That I didn't know how, didn't know how
To make you want me
More than anyone else
And I see how we are different
See how we're the same
I wanna know you anyway

[Post-Chorus]
(I wanna know you anyway)
(I wanna know you anyway, anyway)
[Outro]
Hey Mom, glad that you called
Rather hear your voice than a trip to the mall
I didn't need new things
Just to know that you cared
I needed a diffеrent way of being therе
I was too young just to tell you
You were angry, I don't blame you
'Cause the truth is you were learning
You were also just a person
And I'm trying, and I'm hoping
That you'll hear me and be open
I could climb into your big bed
We could try this again
