lyrics

Lyrics:

I said I’d be fine in a while
You know, I think I just might
Things will look different, I hope
When the day replaces the night
I can be brave when I want
My body is strong
I said I’d be fine in a while
and you know, I hope I’m not wrong

Oh Lord, please keep me safe
I keep on tripping over
my stupid mistakes
You can make stones skip on a lake
but they’ll eventually sink
There’s always a price to pay
when you act before you think
I closed my eyes to myself
while you entered my body that night
Now the bill’s coming due
and baby we both feel not right

Oh Lord, please keep me safe
I keep on tripping over
my stupid mistakes

I heard the sound of a train last night
and when I woke, the feeling was strong
A whistle had filled up the night
for a moment and then it was gone
It left me with tears on my face
and sadness for innocence lost
There’s always a price to pay
but I wish I’d know the cost
Yeah, I wish I’d known the cost

Oh Lord, please keep me safe
I keep on tripping over
my stupid mistakes
