Until You're Big Enough

(album: Black Lines - 2015)

Troubled youth
Got the blues
Take a walk in those shoes
See how they fit for a while
I can bend
It's all pretend
It's just fake until you mean it
And one day you'll mean it for real

Here's to new beginnings
And starting over
When you hope all's forgiven
It's best not to ask for awhile
I believe some can see how to strike when it's red hot
And crumble the castle walls

If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
You speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
He's content
A trouble so great that you shouldn't have gone through
With a clarity I've never seen
I will build you up until you're big enough to take me out

I told you we'd see it through
But you don't believe
And that's the part that kills me
(And that's the part)
Promise me, promise me you will

If I bite the hook would you tell me I'm wrong?
You speak like a man who believes he's got no destiny
He's content
A trouble so great that you shouldn't have gone through
With a clarity I've never seen
I will build you up until you're big enough to pick me up
