Shaken Out

I'm a headlight in my car that's thinking One day I'll be brighter than the Sun I'm a pocket lint that's praying one day I'll grow up to keep somebody warm I'm a raindrop on the sidewalk wishing I could find my way back to the clouds I'm the show-and-tell creation dreaming Of the day that I was passed around Maybe I overestimated What you'd find when I was shaken out And my secrets hit the ground So I'll pretend I'm complicated To buy myself some time to work it out 'Cause I like it in this scene I've painted But maybe it's finally time to take me out I'm the pen that wants the credit For the greatest-selling novel in the world And I'm the lie you tell a lover thinking You're the only one who could get hurt Maybe I overestimated What you'd find when I was shaken out And my secrets hit the ground So I'll pretend I'm complicated To buy myself some time to work it out 'Cause I like it in this scene I've painted But maybe it's finally time to take me out Maybe I overestimated What you'd find when I was shaken out And my secrets hit the ground So I'll pretend I'm complicated To buy myself some time to work it out 'Cause I like it in this scene I've painted But maybe it's finally time to take me out
