I keep my mouth shut cos I don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be obscene
I keep my eyes shut cos I don’t wanna see
I don’t wanna see what you won’t see in me
Sheared, shucked, soaking in the mud
None you could shake from me
Tucked up, pulled tight…

I asked him - "Are you sure ?"

Down here by the river

And like mayflies they have passed
Along the way

The last girl to kiss me,
Left me for her ex,
My first kiss,
Doesn't even remember it,
Somewhere in between,
I got real, real sad,
Until I realized,
I only need myself,
I started writing how I feel,
I started making tunes,
Turning my own wheels…
