One day my father said, son,
you slow yourself down
Yeah, because I'd
hate to see the day
when you're not around
So pick yourself up,
get your feet on the ground
I've been packing up boxes
full of the memories that I've found
As soon as you can
walk your own way
They will follow you, they will follow you
As soon as you can walk your own way
They will follow you, they will follow you
My mother says, son,
you're just a child
I never knew that your life
would end up like this
It's beginning to spiral
You're out of control
You let yourself go
And if you're waiting for love
Then you're gonna be waiting for a long,
long while
As soon as you can walk your own way
They will follow you, they will follow you
As soon as you can walk your own way
They will follow you, they will follow you
An d I can't bear to see you fall
I can't watch my baby suffer
through it all
As soon as you can walk your own way
They will follow you, they will follow you
As soon as you can walk your own way
They will follow you, they will follow you
And I may be a thousand miles away
You hate me for the things
I've done and I know it
As soon as you can walk your own way
They will follow you, they will follow you
As soon as you can walk your own way
They will follow you,
they will follow you
They will follow you you
