lyrics

If I could give you the world I would
I’d handpick the stars if I could
But all I have is the sun in my chest
And my little plaid picnic rug on the sand for you to rest

Couldn’t carry your grief, but I’d try
I’d even let you see me cry
When all my tears hardened into glassy stones
You’d collect my fallen marbles, trust them as your own

I don’t have much to give
Or maybe that’s just what I’m used to saying
But what I have
I’ll give to you
And maybe one day soon I’ll love myself too

Don’t break the lock - I’ll give you a key
Come sit at my table with me
I’m not accustomed to kindness in company
So please, tell me the ingredients in your favourite tea

I don’t have much to give
Or maybe that’s just what I’m used to saying
But what I have
I’ll give to you
And maybe one day soon I’ll love myself

I’ll wear safety goggles
’Til all your walls come down
And when the dust dissipates
I’ll buy us each a ball gown
To parade down the esplanade
Of the toxic “way back when’s”
Cheers to finding out
What it is to let someone in again

If I could give you the world I would
I’d handpick the stars if I could
But all I have is the sun in my chest
And my little plaid picnic rug on the sand for you to rest
