Parting Gift

I was born among the flowers in a plastic vase

On a windowsill in a hospital room

Yeah they cut me out, I’m a parting gift

30 years later, torn between 2

All my pedals to the ground cuz I can never slow down

A speeding ticket and an ultrasound

Yeah this wasn’t on the ultrasound

I’m a only child, disconnected

Calculated every movement

Wished upon the moon when it wasn’t there

I never even had a lesson

I got chances more than slim

I felt like a parting gift that you picked up on a whim

Drop me in the middle of the ocean and expected me to swim

I was born under the water in another state

At the top of a hill where the flowers bloom

The world pulled me in, I’m a parting gift

30 years later I turned into someone new

All my petals to the ground

A gift receipt and a wedding gown

Last seen at the lost and found

Yeah they got me at the lost and found

1992

Don’t wanna be in your shoes

One day you’ll feel good as new

Gold and baby blue

I’m a only child, disconnected

Calculated every movement

Wished upon the moon when it wasn’t there

I never even had a lesson

I got chances more than slim

I felt like a parting gift that you picked up on a whim

Drop me in the middle of the ocean and expected me to swim
