i am training wheels.
i will be there while you are too unstable to ride on your own.
i will be there to keep you riding, make sure you don't fall.

inevitably though, i know you won't always need me.
you start to learn how to ride on your own.
you take me off, and i know you'll never need me again.
but you look so happy, showing off your two-wheeler to the other girls.

sometimes, i wish you never learned.
sometimes, i wish you'd always need me.

but i am only training wheels.
used for stability, and never seen again.
