lyrics

VERSE 1:
When I was young I stooped down to the dirt
And drew a line that I would never cross
When I got old and my borders worn and torn
I still remained on my old familiar side

PRE 1:
Why do we do it?
Why do we do what we know we can't?
Why do we do it?
Why do we do what we know we ain't?

CHORUS:
Dancing for rain we circle, our blood in our cheeks turns purple
Day after day, wave after wave (Yeah!)
Show me the way I'll stumble
I'll say what you say but mumble it
Wave after wave, day after day, stay where you stay, say what you say

COUNTER CHORUS:
I can feel this burning in my soul, can feel this burning in my soul
I sold my soul, I sold my soul
I feel like a mountain to a mole, a spinning car with no control
I sold my soul, I sold my soul

VERSE 2:
And then one day a friend pulled me aside
And dusted off this life I'd grown into
"You're not the lawn"
"You are a tree that needs to grow in the sun"
"And bear some fruit someday"

PRE 2:
I'm spreading out my arms like branches reaching out for the sun
I'm reaching out my palms like flowers turn their heads to the sun
