Nine

Who am I To say what any of this means- I have been sleepwalking Since I was fourteen Now as I write my song I retrace my steps Honestly, it's easier To let myself forget Still, I check my vital signs Choked up, I realize I've been less than half myself For more than half my life Wake up Fall in love again Wage war on gravity There's so much Worth fighting for You'll see Another domino falls Either way It looks like empathy To understand all sides But I'm just trying to find myself Through someone else's eyes So please show me what to do To restart this heart of mine How do I forgive myself For losing so much time Wake up Roll up your sleeves There's a chain reaction In your heart Muscle memory Remembering who you are Stand up Fall in love again and again and again Wage war on gravity There's so much Worth fighting for You'll see Another domino falls And another domino falls A little at a time I feel more alive I let the scale tip and feel all of it It's uncomfortable but right We were born to try To see each other through To know and love ourselves and others well Is the most difficult and meaningful Work we'll ever do
