I came home from work
And she was waiting at the door
Had that bad day look in her eyes
Then I heard the sound of little feet across the hardwood floor
And I knelt down with my arms open wide
When I asked her what had happened
She pointed to our son
And said why don't you show your daddy
What you've done

Chorus:
And I could see the writing on the wall
The evidence of little hands
Picasso with a purple crayon
And I tried to act upset but I was smiling through it all
'cause I could see the writing on the wall

It was the first day of school
Standing by the laundry door
Wondering how third grade came so fast
Took a ruler and a sharpie pen and I drew the line once more
So amazed at how time had passed
With a backpack full of promise
And wonder in her eyes
I turned my head just so she wouldn't
See me cry

Chorus 2:
Cause I could see the writing on the wall
It seems no matter how I tried
The pages of this life just kept turning
It's a roller coaster ride
Even though we have it all
I could see the writing on the wall

I got a cinematic memory
playing pictures of the past
adding to the story as I go
Cause every day I'm learning
that tomorrow comes too fast
so I'm holding on the only way I know
