Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I bit on my lip and I kicked at my toes, no I
I don't need your lecture 'cause your lecture won't show
That you told me so, I told you so
But I woulda managed, I would have been fine
I can do it myself and I'll do it just my way
I'm a big man for thinking just so
[Verse 2]
But somebody told me that your mother was born
Wa-wa-wandering woman with a spirit so sworn of the riverside
And it never surprised me, but it meant that my love was immobilized
Well, it meant that my love was immobilized
'Cause when it comes, it comes when it does
[Verse 3]
But you came in the middle and you fell in my hands
Oh, a wonderful woman and an average man
See, that makes me the lucky man
I won't be deserving, but I won't be denied
See, I feel in the position, I'll still teach my kids pride
Because failure's a part of it all
And if failure don't hurt, then failure don't work no more
[Verse 4]
But somebody told me to a nephew was born
Whoa, beautiful baby, so smart and so sure of his little self
And in a wonderful way, he was making me feel so small
Was making me feel so small
Was making me feel so small
And I don't think I felt this before
[Verse 5]
In all the reasons to come
Well, they override my body and I point to the sun
'Cause where it's warm is where the wilderness grows
And it grows, and it grows
Till it all becomes nothing and nothing is left as you know
[Verse 6]
We walked it for a thousand years with broken eyes and salted ears
Complaining 'bout the weather like we ever had a choice
Through all the noise and self-abuse, you waited for your fill of truth
Oh, I'm terrified I'll achieve nothing at all
