Mother Always Told Me

(album: Legacy - 2014)

My mother always told me
Be careful when it comes to love
Don't get yourself in trouble
Broken hearts are way too much
My mother always told me
To take the less travelled road
But I had a point to prove her
That I could do it on my own

But I was innocent, she was right and I was young
Looking back at photographs, never wanted summer gone
Making angels in the snow, didn't care if it was cold
My mother always told me “mother knows”

Know, know, know, know
Know, know, know
Know, know, know, know
Know, know, mother knows

My mother always told me
Not to cross the line
You can only burn your bridges
One too many times
My mother always told me
You gotta have some nerve
You might not get what you want
But you'll get what you deserve

But I was innocent, she was right and I was young
Looking back at photographs, never wanted summer gone
Making angels in the snow, didn't care if it was cold
My mother always told me “mother knows”

Know, know, know, know
Know, know, know
Know, know, know, know
Know, know, mother knows
Know, know, know, know
Know, know, know
Know, know, know, know
Know, know

Woah oh
I should've listened when she talked
Woah oh
She didn't understand what I thought

But I was innocent, she was right and I was young
Looking back at photographs, never wanted summer gone
Making angels in the snow, didn't care if it was cold
My mother always told me “mother knows”
