Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
I wake up with it in the morning, I fall asleep with it at night
It follows me like a favorite pet, it never leaves my side
It's a symbol of the mess I've made, it's the part that won't come clean
I've tried before to scrape it off, it's not as easy as it seems
So I take it out and look at it, and copy it to scale,
I write it all in letters I never plan to mail
But if I did I hope you'd find comfort in the words
A message of intended good, a peace that you deserve
I hope that every weakened state has strength not far ahead
And every time we think to lie the truth comes out instead
Because gravity and weightlessness exist at the same time
For me the only difference is the willingness to fly
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
I wish that I were purposeful, instead I'm insecure
The locks have all been cut off, I'm naked and unsure
I wish that it was new years eve because then I would declare
From this day on I'll learn to breathe, stop holding onto air
From this day on I'll watch the world revolve around the sun
Stop screaming at the weatherman each time he gets it wrong
Stop begging you to see me for more than I really am
Start letting all the children out who live inside the man
I'll notice what's around me, appreciate what's true
And every time I see your soul, I'll show you that I do
Because honesty is such a prize, what a gift you give to me
And every time you open up you teach me to be free
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
Oh, oh oh ohhhh Oh, oh oh ohhhh
Freedom can be frightening, sometimes I want to die
Sometimes I am a sloppy mess, sometimes I have to cry
But every cry has been a song and every song a prayer
And every word I give to God lifts up into the air
Explodes in every color, turns into energy
And lets me know the world is bigger, bigger than me.
