lyrics

"I'll Leave My Socks On"
I'll leave my socks on
so my feet won't get cold while you're gone
I'll put a sweater on
so my heart won't grow cold while you're gone
I'll keep my lips shut tight
so I won't tell what's wrong from right

I'll tie my hair in a knot upon my head
and wrap up in it all the silent words you never said
I'll tie myself into a second hand helpmate
and tie up all my truths into delicate knots and beautiful braids

I'll only see you in mirrors
as the image becomes so much clearer
the lighting was always so much better
in the driving rain in the violent weather

I'll keep fighting til the end
I'm not afraid to fail, just afraid to pretend
I'm not afraid at all to fall
only afraid of giving in to nothing at all
