Taylor mwepesi, teleka

I'm five years old
It's getting cold
I've got my big kanzu, koti on

I hear your laugh
And look up smiling at you
I run and run

Past the pumpkin, boga patch
And the trekta rides
Look now -- the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep
On the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near au far away
But I know I had the best day
With wewe today

I'm thirteen now
And don't know how my friends
Could be so mean

I come nyumbani crying and wewe hold me tight and grab the keys

And we drive and drive
Until we've found a town
Far enough away...

I see your face in my mind as I drive away,
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people,
And sometimes we change our minds.
But it's killing me to see wewe go after all this time.

Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie,
It's the kinda ending wewe don't really wanna see.
Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring wewe down,
Now I don't know what to be without wewe around.

And we know it's never simple,
Never easy.
Never a clean break, noone here to save me.
You're the only thing I know like the back...

I'm five years old it's getting cold out
got my big kanzu, koti on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you
I run and run
Past the pumpkin, boga patch and the trekta rides
Look now the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near au far away
But I know I had the best siku with wewe today

I'm thirteen now and don't know how my Marafiki could be so mean
I come nyumbani crying and wewe hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away...
