Ain't Met Us Yet

Rockstar

Every Breath You Take (feat. Sting)

Just got a call from a number I didn't know
Young girl asking if my maiden name was Crow
Said "I've been looking, think you’re mine"
Knew she was right before she spoke `nother line
She said "This must be strange"
I said "Baby, you don't even know"
“Can we meet?” ... "Tell me when?"
One call, one moment, and I'm seventeen again
`cept this time I'm on the other side

I was seventeen and barely holding on
He promised you somewhere safe and warm
Said you'd have everything I couldn't give
Signed those papers
Thought I was doing right by you
I was just a kid with a kid
What the hell was I supposed to do?

She walked in late, wouldn't look me in the eye
Ordered coffee black then let it sit and die
I tried small talk, she cut through it like a knife
"You don't get to ask me about my life"
I saw my mother's temper in her face
Same way of holding hurt that runs through our blood
She said "They loved me fine, that's not the point—
I don’t know who the fuck I am, and that’s your fault

I was seventeen, believed what I was told
He said you'd be loved, said you'd be whole
But whole means more than just a roof overhead
Means knowing your name, your people, your thread
Thought I was doing right by you
Now you're sitting here don't know yourself
What the hell am I supposed to do?

She said "Tell me something true"
I said "I held you for an hour before they came"
She said "Did you even give me a name?"
I said "You’re my Morning Star"
"Huh…they call me Jennifer"
And we both just sat there with that

Sat there in that silence for a while
Then she asked me, quiet, "What was your mother's name?"
I told her, told her what it means
She wrote it down like something sacred
"My parents—they don't understand
Why I need this, why I came looking for you"
I said "I've thought about you every single day"
She said "That doesn't help me now, but—"
Asked if I'd meet her again

You’re seventeen, needing answers I don’t got
Can’t get back years, just pay the cost
I don't know where this goes, but I’ll be there
Damn sure sorry's not enough
Wish I could press undo
But I’m here trying, Girl
What the hell else can I do?

She looked back and smiled before she left
So maybe we can start something new
Maybe start from there
Maybe start from where we are
