lyrics

Given the circumstance Daisy would say
Blink twice, take a breath, watch your life fade away
And I’ve given it quite enough thought just to say
That I’m still standing here, 18 and afraid

But look here, each thing pays a price
He got along so far and now he thinks twice
Has a daughter, a family that he calls his own
Gives no thoughts about me
And I don’t feel alone

In the world
It’s okay
Breathe it in
Wipe the tears off your face
Take a walk
Count to ten
Keep the past in the past
It’s the past for a reason

And now I’m not saying you have to choose kindness
For those who excused all their violence for blindness
I’m braver than I just for standing my ground
And cutting the ties that were holding me down

Chorus

I did my time
Holding my self compassion hostage
But I’ll take what’s mine
My purity, sanity was never defined
By the boy in the snow
Or the grace that I’ve come to know

Chorus

Pay all your dues to inevitability
Death and taxes are life’s great fragility
And promise me darling, when you are older
You’ll foolishly let go of none of your wonder
