Lyrics

Well I feared failure for a long time
I suppose that I still do
I just ran out of armor, got tired of being poked and examined
Submitted for approval but always found wanting
And I'm tired of always selling myself
Of putting my best foot forward all the time
The rabbit I've been chasing is still further away
My shoes have come loose and I am tired
But I never seem to remember
Why I'm cut down by all their words
And I don't know how to keep my defenses up
I should be braver and I know that it's absurd
But lately I've just been in the corner
Licking my wounds every night
Get out there and fight girl
Don't be afraid to bleed
Crawl back towards the light
Don't be afraid to show you need
Smile less and show more bared teeth
Get out there and fight girl
Bring 'em to their knees
And I always had a hard time making leaps
Even as a kid I'd spend hours with my toes
Curled around the edge, terrified of being pushed
And screwing up all my courage
And only when the others had grown bored and tired of waiting
The fear of being left alone would push me towards the water
Screaming all the way down
But it was never that bad in the end
But I never seem to remember
That part of the lesson never quite sunk in
And I don't know what I'm so afraid of now
I don't know what I was so afraid of then
But lately I've just been in the corner
Licking my wounds every night
Get out there and fight girl
Don't be afraid to bleed
Crawl back towards the light
Don't be afraid to show you need
Smile less and show more bared teeth
Get out there and fight girl
Bring 'em to their knees
Get out there and fight girl
Bring 'em to their knees
