I was stocking up on trail mix at the Wal Mart in Marina
When she called me with the news I was standing in between the
Pokemon posters and the check out lane
Four years together life would never be the same
And I thought back to the day when the two of us met
On a warm spring night at south by Southwest
Rapper Pen pals sending texts and poems
Till We hugged on that day at SFO
Moved back to brooklyn left marin
For the win two kids so in love that was when
I cashed in my miles and took your Mom back
To onе of my favorite spots on the map
In the waitomo cavеs I asked her to be
My partner and spend her life with me
Under the glown worms I read a haiku
Now she’s calling on the phone and she says the line is blue
CHORUS:
Atlas – you don’t have to hold the world up by yourself
Now we’re masked deep in quarantine straight tripping on our health
And when the venues reopen and Daddy’s back on the road
Put this song on repeat to make sure you know that
You were born in the spring of 2020
When global events had us worried worried plenty
And This year they canceled that Austin show
And pretty much everything else going on so
The city shut down we left Manhattan
Terrified With no idea of what would happen
So went to stay with Barbara and John
In washington crossing with the manicured lawns
And I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t afraid
A whole new birth plan, everything changed
And now you’re holding up our world, one day at a time
You haven’t met my parents but we’re Zooming every night
The greatest gig we ever had was To be your Mom and Dad
Happy birthday little titan thanks for making life so rad
Standing on the edge of Gaia I watch you levitate the sky
And even when I’m gone I’m with you all the time
CHORUS:
Atlas – you don’t have to hold the world up by yourself
Now we’re masked deep in quarantine straight tripping on our health
And when the venues reopen and Daddy’s back on the road
Put this song on repeat to make sure you know that
