lyrics

The summer air cut deep
in the skin on me that couldn’t stand the heat
So I walked up to the door,
but I shouldn’t have been walking on all fours

Then a man let me inside
then whispered something I couldn’t reason with, though I tried
He said “you’ll live life without pride if you live life without an angel by your side”

Oh, all that I thought
is that I don’t want to try
and try to think a lot

Oh, all that I thought
is maybe what I have
is better than what I have not

The winter air cut deep
in the skin on me that couldn’t stand the cold
But, still, I walked up to the door
I thought I shouldn’t have been walking on all fours

Then an angel sang out!
They didn’t really know much more
and that the way I’m walking is what my arms are for

I didn’t pay attention and saw a deer glide by outside
I think I heard that self sufficiency is worth more than pride

Oh, all that I thought
is that I don’t want to try
and try to think a lot

Oh, all that I thought
is maybe what I have
is better than what I have not

The city sounds cut deep
in the part of my mind that can miss a beat
