my hands have scars.
on the road i wondered if they’d disappear
with nothing but highway
i wondered if i could leave any place untouched.
i lay awake on the floor with someone next to me
not shy, not weak but i’d never mention anything
and in the night everything is silent next to you
but i had pride — i was fragile then and you were fragile too
now i wear it like a scar, i think of you
every little kindness magnified a hundred times
and in my dreams i am wide awake in california
and we don’t sleep: we watch the sunrise come out from behind the stars
you don’t look at me, you look at the mountains out before us
i feel so young, i feel like nothing could ever stop us
you dont need to know the truth
i was following your lead like you were right there next to me,
but i am nothing but a sheep in wolf’s clothing
i am harmless oh i swear if you would just let me get near
if you would just let me repair the damage i have done
