lyrics

I still have the clothes I was wearing in the crash / the holes in the cotton and my body match / I wore long skirts to hide my wounds / hurt goes and comes back like the moon.

I counted my motions in twenties and tens / I stopped and started and counted again / the daily reminders, the constant climb / it takes so much time, it takes so much time / no I’m not there / no I’m not there / no I’m not there, but I move along / I sing my hymns and I take my pills and I stretch my limbs and I pay my bills.

I found one of your dress shirts in a box of loose ends / that had come all the way back with me to Michigan / I intended to send it back but it sat in a drawer / so now I’m finally taking that thing to the thrift store / you don’t owe me / no you don’t owe me / you don’t owe me, but let me go / I take no shit now, I’m impolite, and if you don’t like me, well that’s all right.

I kept to myself, I stayed out of sight / but I’m getting dressed up and I’m going downtown tonight / gonna see the lights so bright they hurt / gonna cuff my sleeves, and I’m gonna do my work / give it all I got / give it all I got / give it all I got, keep moving along / just a little of this and a little of that / wash in the Jordan and pick up your mat / no guarantees it’ll even come to that.
