I used to be a dancer in the soothing sun The forest was my company and I danced around So hope you're an innocent it was my heart Kept from all the talk I wouldn't change a thing it was a perfect sky, blue But I became uncertain as my world began I wasn't much for talking so I kept it in I'll cover disappointment spread all around All I heard was "keep it down" I needed to feel heard and some hurt I found Found more than I could ask for but I asked again My friends and I we complemented complex lives Oh how we romanticized Or were we just uncovering our plaintive eyes I jumped out in a fur for anyone with scars And they were like salients for my empty heart And every time I think of it as lessons learned Every time I crashed and burned To feel was what I wanted and what I had to earn
