You bought a coonskin cap and a ball point pen
You’re never back together then you’re married again
And you sit on the shelf
Just like that coonskin cap and your ballpoint pen
Can’t fix that old Kentucky overbite
If you’re still building bridges with him
Look around
I am the ocean and you are the tide
I am a fertile tree and you are beyond and on

You picked your route to fast
Now it’s caving in
Your mind can’t pass on what this old voice said
Never back together, married again
Back together, married again
Built your roof too fast
Now its caving in
Your roof too fast
I am the ocean and you are the tide
I am a wilting tree and you are beyond and on

That flash
The sky cracked open
Sun drenched as you were poured in
With white light that heat my skin with life I’ve longed for
No blood when I was cut open
Took back my fear and held it
My hands, my heart
My everything has always been all yours
All yours

You gave me a playful excuse
Some sort of family dispute
Oh your dad told me not to look at you
I’d never be him
Just some playful abuse when he said
[?]
Oh, your dad told me not to look at you
I swear I’ll kill him

Give me a reason and I will stay here
She is a fountain and I’ve fallen for the taste of it now
She speaks to me in ribbons
And I’m drinking them down

That flash
The sky cracked open
Sun drenched as you were poured in
With white light that heat my skin with life I’ve longed for
No blood when I was cut open
Took back my fear and held it
My hands, my heart
My everything has been all yours
All yours
