Lyrics
I tore apart all I could with my teeth
and I hoped the feeling I was finding was peace
and I tried so hard just to not be a threat
or anything else to the people I met
and I tried to hold the wind under my tongue
and let it out every time that I sung
but now I just feel like I'm running out of breath
because the people who come are so easily left
and the sun will thaw for the afternoon
people talking about things I thought that I knew
but I'm not sure I can ever be sure
about the things that I know I don't know anymore.
I thought I was brave just for living so long
but now that I'm older I know that it's wrong
to count all the changes that I tried to make
and then think that change is worth anything.
I truly believed if I worried enough
that I'd be forgiven for all the things that I'd done
and thought I was hurt, no one ever hurt me
it was just me, it was just me.
On the car ride home, I knew I would be scared
and all of my courage had finally left
and I know now that the avalanches
follow close behind me so I know where I've been.
I tore apart all I could with my teeth
and I hoped the feeling I was finding was peace
and I tried so hard just to not be a threat
or anything else to the people I met.
