Lyrics Yeasayer – Uma
Text:
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
