Shaping up the Corner

I was twiddling my thumbs as I shuffled past the light

I was holding onto memories and thoughts that I might

Change the ways that I could be onto the other side

But I couldn't bring myself to understand or realize

Hell if I could pour myself a drink

Have myself a moment, I just need to think

Shaping up the corner, the edge, the folds, the border

The line you draw to be outside another kind

Switching up the order, the future now the former

The worried you, you are sometimes

I was stuck inside that box, but I clawed myself right out

Then I stumbled over to see what the world was all about

And I couldn't believe the words that were coming out my mouth

I said, that's for me to know

Hell if I could pour myself to think

Have myself a moment, I just need a drink

Shaping up the corner, the edge, the folds, the border

The line you draw to be outside another kind

Switching up the order, the future now the former

The worried you, you are sometimes

Hey there, younger me

It's nice to see your face

Within some time's reflection

And learning in each day

You're an engine, a powerhouse, a good kid all around

You'll make yourself someone to rely

Don't you worry now

Let me take your hand

And walk you through the hours

And help you understand

You'll find that fear, rip it out, see it clear and go without

And make ourselves someone who can cry

Hey there, older me

I'm glad to see you're good

I see you've made some changes

To the thoughts that I would

You hold yourself, talk it through

Feel the power that we knew

And made ourselves someone to rely
