threadbare

Capo 2

VERSE
I’ve been in space since you shot me away,
Now nothing is holding me down.
If I’m honest with you, well I love the weight
These feet were built for ground.

So I’m coming home, I’m charting a course,
From up here in my apogee.
My orbiting’s done and I’m heading down,
Splashing back into the sea.

CHORUS
So tell me again that you love me,
Bring these boots to ground.
Cause I'm light and I'm free and I won't mean a thing,
Till this soul of mine’s earthbound

So pull me back from my orbit,
And land me in the sea,
Where I’m swimming and drowning and everything hurts,
just salt and misery.

VERSE
Now I'm burning up on this threadbare approach,
As I'm falling back down from the sky.
This spacewalk has shown me what I need the most,
So I'm coming back down to your side.

So I'll give my best like I have a choice,
Throw overboard all my sins.
I'll wash up ashore, with the salt and the spit,
and sand pressing into my skin.

CHORUS
So tell me again that you love me,
Bring these boots to ground.
Cause I'm light and I'm free and I won't mean a thing,
Till this soul of mine’s earthbound

So pull me back from my orbit,
And land me in the sea,
Where I’m swimming and drowning and everything hurts,
just salt and misery.

VERSE
So I’m unraveling just like you showed me,
I’m falling apart at the seams,
I’m old and I’m worn and I’m all faded out,
With patchwork all in between

CHORUS
So tell me again that you love me,
Bring these boots to ground.
Cause I'm light and I'm free and I won't mean a thing,
Till this soul of mine’s earthbound

So pull me back from my orbit,
And land me in the sea,
Where I’m swimming and drowning and everything hurts,
just salt and misery.
