Mine to Take

Don't try to tie me down
I'm in love with everyone
I've run off, I've stuck around
I'll be older when I'm done

Make a home in the movement inside you
Where you can go when there's nowhere to hide
It's a long way down to the bottom
Of this slippery spiral slide

I can recognize it's a habit
That I would like to break
But I don't even know if you have it
Or if it's mine to take

Don't try to answer my prayers
I don't pray to anyone
Go shed a few more layers
You'll feel lighter when you're done

Find a friend in the chaos inside you
Who'll understand when there's nowhere to turn
Find the meaning in all of the madness
There is a thing or two you might learn

I can register the words you're saying
But I might not agree
I don't need to know what chords you're playing
To know what's out of key
