Mine to Take

Don't try to tie me down
 I'm in love with everyone
 I've run off, I've stuck around
 I'll be older when I'm done
 Make a home in the movement inside you
 Where you can go when there's nowhere to hide
 It's a long way down to the bottom
 Of this slippery spiral slide
 I can recognize it's a habit
 That I would like to break
 But I don't even know if you have it
 Or if it's mine to take
 Don't try to answer my prayers
 I don't pray to anyone
 Go shed a few more layers
 You'll feel lighter when you're done
 Find a friend in the chaos inside you
 Who'll understand when there's nowhere to turn
 Find the meaning in all of the madness
 There is a thing or two you might learn
 I can register the words you're saying
 But I might not agree
 I don't need to know what chords you're playing
 To know what's out of key
