lyrics

I’ve been angry and I have strayed
I’ve said words I never thought that I could say
You were sadly sweet like an old bar song
But I’ll be back up on my feet before too long

You could say you wanted me if I said it first
The words rang hollow and the emptiness became a thirst
Now I could drink those words, they would make me strong
And I’d be back up on my feet before too long

If you’d met me now
You never would have stuck around
You never would have stuck around

So I will lay me down by the salty sea
And let the water pull the sand over my body
To wash me clean like a river stone
And I’ll be back up on my feet before you know it
Yeah I’ll be back up on my feet before too long
Before too long
