Chaperone Lyrics by Jackie Marchal

2023

[Verse 1]
I’ve been practicing patience
Keep my foot on the brake
And my eyes on the road ‘til it’s green
Nobody will catch me
Driving at full speed
In the Hall of Ages
Get right up to the glass
‘Cause my third-grade class gets a guided tour
We’re studying dinosaurs
And you’re the chaperone
[Refrain]
Now I’m grown
I see you from outside the window
A tumbled stone at peace
But caught in the shallows
I’m in the arms of a cove
Trying to map out the sea
Should I be worried
If that’s who I turn out to be?
[Verse 2]
I’ve been running the numbers
Keeping a tally of every behaviour we share
And every tick or cross is another cross to bear
[Interlude]
I’ve been making excuses
But the truth is
I’m going nowhere
Maybe I’m already there
[Refrain]
Now I’m grown
I see you from outside the window
A tumbled stone at peace
But caught in the shallows
I’m in the arms of a cove
Trying to map out the sea
Should I be worried
If that’s who I turn out to be?
[Bridge]
If I walked a mile in your worn out shoes
I wouldn’t be waging this war with you
Half open wounds, got so much to lose
[Outro]
I’ve been practicing patience
Keep my foot on the brake
And my eyes on the road ‘til it’s green
