Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Had to find some higher ground

Had some fear to get around

You can't say what you don't know

Later on won't work no more

Last time through, I hid my tracks

So well, I could not get back

Yeah, my way was hard to find

Can't sell your soul for peace of mind

[Verse 2]

Square one, my slate is clear

Rest your head on me, my dear

It took a world of trouble, it took a world of tears

It took a long time to get back here

[Verse 3]

Try so hard stand alone

Struggle to see past my nose

Always had more dogs than bones

I could never wear those clothes

It's a dark victory

You won and you also lost

Told her you were satisfied

But it never came across

[Verse 4]

Square one, my slate is clear

Rest your head on me, my dear

It took a world of trouble, it took a world of tears

It took a long time to get back here

[Verse 5]

Square one, my slate is clear

Rest your head me, my dear

It took a world of trouble, it took a world of tears

It took a long time to get back here

[Verse 6]

Square one, my slate is clear

Rest your head on me, my dear

It took a world of trouble, it took a world of tears

Yeah, It took a long time to get back here
