Cutting Corners

(álbum: You Never Met Me - 2022)

When I was just a kid
Didn't know how to live
Maybe if my dad was nicer
I could take back what I did
And tie the noose around my lips
Maybe then I could breathe nicer

Maybe then I could talk to strangers
Maybe then I could taste some danger
Then every day might be okay

I know I'd be cutting corners
I just can't see me moving forward
Then you're just so good to me
So I stay here, I let you pull me

When I was seventeen
Almost gave up on my dream
Almost said goodbye too early
Carolina be so sad
And maybe even mom and dad
And my dogs would start to worry

And it's better for a minute
Till I find myself back in it
I'm not sure how much more I can take it

I know I'd be cutting corners
I just can't see me moving forward
Then you're just so good to me
So I stay here, I let you pull me

Driving down past my street
Windows down, cool leather seat
Sometimes Georgia ain't sober
