At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream A war's already waged For my destiny But you've already won the battle And you've got great plans for me Though I can't always see 'Cause I got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans Try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy An' on my own I'm so clumsy But on your shoulders I can see I'm free to be me When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out See, my life would turn out right And I'd make it here somehow But things don't always come that easy And sometimes I would doubt 'Cause I got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans Try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy On my own I'm so clumsy But on your shoulders I can see I'm free to be me And you're free to be you Sometimes I believe That I can do anything Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring But you look at my heart and you tell me That I've got all you seek And it's easy to believe Even though I got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans Try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy On my own I'm so clumsy But on your shoulders I can see I got a couple dents in my fender Got a couple rips in my jeans Try to fit the pieces together But perfection is my enemy An' on my own I'm so clumsy But on your shoulders I can see I'm free to be me And you're free to be you
