These canvas bags are full of nothing
They just remind me of where I've been
My hands are held by no one
Just goes to show the state I'm in
And I've been watching your steps closely
So that you won't ever know me
You only get two great loves and I wasted one
So for the first time ever
I wish I was a little better
I need to be something else before we're done
Before we're done
The creek was ice cold in the summer
And I looked at you and dived right in
I knew I couldn't have loved you better
You were such a precious little thing
A thousand miles and decades later
I held your hand next to the coast
And I begged you to stay there
But your heart just ached for home
It just ached for home
For the first time ever
(I never wanted you to know)
I wish I was a little better
(But I can't keep you away)
Cause you don't know what it takes
(I've got too much to run away)
To push you away
And every minute with you is like
(You let me go)
Falling and laughing you can have
(You let me down)
Anything you want
(You never wanted me around)
Just don't take
Don't take yourself from me
Don't take yourself from me
Don't take yourself from me
Don't take yourself from me
