From the recording This Dirt

Lyrics

Sometimes I question all the little things
Oh I protect them and hold them dear
Did I mention that I’m still learning
Did I mention that I’ve got the time
Oh I didn’t hear you mention in your rambling confession
That your story does not define mine

Your past is not my future
And my eyes are full of images that you can’t picture
Stop taking all the little things
That I once wished for

I’m not yours to own
Oh I don’t need your words in my throat
It’s hard enough to find myself without
Your cynical thoughts in my head
Instead start listening
Stop praying your past on me
Cause it’s not a definition of my countless possibilities

Do you overlook the little things
Is your voice the only one you can hear
Did I mention that my ignorance
Is not asking for a lesson
Still you try to make me learn

I’m not yours to own
I don’t need your words in my throat
It’s hard enough to find myself without
Your cynical thoughts in my head
Instead start listening
Stop praying your past on me
Cause it’s not a definition of my countless possibilities
