Mine to Take

Don’t try to tie me down

I’m in love with everyone

I’ve run off, I’ve stuck around

I’ll be older when I’m done

Make a home in the movement inside you

Where you can go when there’s nowhere to hide

It’s a long way down to the bottom

Of this slippery spiral slide

I can recognize it’s a habit

That I would like to break

But I don’t even know if you have it

Or if it’s mine to take

Don’t try to answer my prayers

I don’t pray to anyone

Go shed a few more layers

You’ll feel lighter when you’re done

Find a friend in the chaos inside you

Who’ll understand when there’s nowhere to turn

Find the meaning in all of the madness

There is a thing or two you might learn

I can register the words you’re saying

But I might not agree

I don’t need to know what chords you’re playing

To know what’s out of key
