slight figure of speech - avett brothers lyrics
they say you’ve got to lose a couple fights to win
it’s hard to tell from where i’m sitting
they say that this is where the fun begins
i guess it’s time that i was quitting
a slight figure of speech
i cut my chest wide open
they come and watch us bleed
is it art like i was hoping now?
they said “i hope that you will never change”
i went and cut my hair
they say “don’t take your business to the big time”
i bought us tickets there
a slight figure of speech
i cut my chest wide open
they come and watch us bleed
is it art like i was hoping now?
what did you expect
and what did you forget
that to live you let go of me with each step
it becomes a progression i won’t let regret manifest
to aggression
are you to -ssess what i’ve been? what i am? or become?
did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb
it can be to
attack those around ’cause you’re
true to color, a town, a time, or a place?
it’s not you, it’s not mine
and besides it is gone
and you never will find it again
but i don’t want to fight
i just ask let me be
i won’t give the chance to be my enemy
so go home
think it through
a jet plane and a big idea
i jump over the sea
what ifs hot on my trail
but that can’t catch me, no
a slight figure of speech
i cut my chest wide open
they come and watch us bleed
is it art like i was hoping now?
