Believe me life won't let you
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or I'm after what I want
It's my feet but it's their race
And I don't leave unless you offer me a stay
And I realize, when I buck my place
What that is I wish that I could say
And nobody else will lift a light to make you see
And the cleverest ones get to be real old
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay
What that is I wish that I could say
And if I'm wondering where to go
If you think you cannot bear
And I may struggle, I may complain
Don't got to learn a damn thing, part of being free
That you're using the anointing oil like it's sacramental beer
And don't blame heaven or hell
And I don't leave until you offer me a stay
But I'm just trying to grab at the reins
If you blink you shall not fare
And I don't fight unless I'm cornered or I'm after what I want
And I don't run unless you try to chase me
Confuses up the point until you're numb enough to hear
So forgive me or forget you
You have to look to yourself
But should you get the chance try to make for the fence
And I don't run unless you try to chase me
I don't run unless you try to chase me
What that is I wish that I could say
And I won't fight unless I'm cornered or I'm after what I want
It's a subtle dance we do to stay in from the cold
