Wreathe yourself in great

Before you have to face

Leave a plate for me

You can rest while i clean

A favorite number put on my jacket

A pair of names carved in a tree

The secrets whispered into my pillow

A journal entry they'll never see

This life is an embarrassing phase, I just can't wait to be free

I didn't hear what you said

But I'll still nod my head

You've got that look on your face

Your memory's jogging in place

Your favorite words that you never told me

No matter how much you wanted to

The love put into a roman statue

A tree falling where no one knew

This life is an embarrassing phase, I just can't wait to be free

The last I saw of that photograph of you

Was in the drawer under measuring tape and glue

This life is good 'cause it doesn't have any rules

I'll turn my head and be gone

Shut a door with no lock

Keep a thought in your head

Don't just make it through you can win

This life is an embarrassing phase, I'll pick the seconds i keep
