Tossed around like sea glass And you rounded out my edges I'll feel better when the headaches go away I've got a scar across my forehead Turning purple in the cold From a night at Shore Memorial I was sixteen and afraid, turned away I'm working babyface Out of Mid-South in the eighties I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks I want to run until my lungs give up If I could manage not to fuck this up If I could manage not to fuck this up I think enough is enough
Hidden in the tall grass In the naked light of day Put my past self in the ground I've been dancing on the grave I'm not the person that I was then I'm tearing him away I was bitter, I was careless I was nineteen and afraid
But you deserve more than me Don't know why I'd say those things But you deserve more than me And I'm trying every day
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks I want to run until my lungs give up If I could manage not to fuck this up If I could manage not to fuck this up I think enough is enough
Let me walk into circles You were a shot in the dark You were the baby teeth I buried You were the sound of distant cars
Let me walk into circles You were a shot in the dark You were the banner that says "No One" That I tattooed across my heart
Let me walk into circles You were a shot in the dark You scattered like ashes across every song that I write You were the light pollution starts
I think I'm growing into someone you could trust I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks I want to run until my lungs give up If I could manage not to fuck this up If I could manage not to fuck this up Enough is enough
