Mineshaft II - Jessy Greene/Dessa.mp3

[00:09.66]Fifteen years from tonight you have to make a decision
[00:12.42]The greatest love of your life
[00:13.80]Is gonna call during dinner...
[00:15.63]From the home of the girl that he's living with now
[00:19.95]And the guilt he'll say is killing him
[00:21.51]He's wilted in the middle and
[00:22.74]He knows how bad he acted
[00:24.00]Knows he can't have you back
[00:25.05]But the fact is he can't be happy when you're angry
[00:27.39]And you're so angry, he says you stayed so mad
[00:30.48]And he heard it on the street that
[00:32.04]You moved back in with your dad
[00:33.57]You were drinking something awful
[00:34.92]And that makes him sad
[00:36.09]Then he says it's good to hear your voice again
[00:38.19]And that it's hard to ask it,
[00:39.36]But he's calling with a question
[00:41.28]He's been working real hard, he's trying to make a new start
[00:43.98]An honest to god fresh beginning
[00:45.84]So maybe you could try to finally find it in your heart
[00:48.30]To forgive him
[00:50.40]You've already been here before
[00:52.95]You already know where it goes
[00:54.66]You chose this, you know it's supposed to be over
[01:00.84]You've been here before
[01:03.15]You already know where it goes
[01:04.53]You chose this, you know it's supposed to be over
[01:11.43]He hung up the phone, you listened to the dial tone
[01:13.86]And you stared at the stove until the beeping started
[01:16.47]You read some love letters some threats
[01:18.27]And some you couldn't tell apart
[01:19.59]That you keep under the bed at the apartment
[01:21.93]And then you did what he asked you to do
[01:23.49]You opened your heart up
[01:24.69]Right there on a napkin on the carpet
[01:26.73]And part of it was frostbit
[01:28.05]But you've always been a smart kid
[01:29.70]Could still distinguish, the blood black as pitch
[01:32.40]Valves had gone stiff, veins and scar tissue
[01:34.77]Four chambers just a standard issue
[01:36.78]But none had room, forgiveness is huge
[01:39.27]And you had two full of ice water
[01:40.86]One fulla salt, one packed with coal
[01:44.79]Eager and ready and willing to find fault
[01:51.69]You've already been here before
[01:54.24]You already know where it goes
[01:55.68]You chose this, you know it's supposed to be over
[02:02.13]You've been here before
[02:04.44]You already know where it goes
[02:05.82]You chose this, you know it's supposed to be over
[02:12.78]Then with your heart in your lap
[02:14.49]And your head in your hands, suddenly you had a plan
[02:17.88]Wrap the mess in newspaper
[02:19.26]Headed west on Hennepin,
[02:20.49]Heavy with a huge favor for a kid that just turned ten
[02:23.28]A flat-chested, gap-toothed girl
[02:25.17]Was the best that I've been so far
[02:27.99]And now I'm too big to forgive him
[02:29.76]I need just a moment with me,
[02:31.38]A moment when I was still little
[02:33.36]I used to sing on the roof outside my windowsill
[02:35.97]And I came hoping some ghost of me would be here still
[02:38.52]And here you are, stick figure and a busted grin
[02:41.04]Still ignorant of all the trouble I'ma get us in
[02:43.35]Hoping we could trade, just for tonight
[02:45.81]Like I could borrow your heart
[02:47.22]And I could leave you mine
[02:48.24]It's not much for collateral, tattered and battle-scared
[02:50.73]But I can promise you solemn
[02:51.93]That I will be back for it tomorrow
[02:53.94]I only need yours this evening
[02:55.68]So I can call an old friend
[02:58.41]And I can tell him
[02:59.10]That we're finally even,
[02:59.91]That we're finally even
[03:24.36]You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over
[03:29.31]I've been here before
[03:31.32]And I already know where it goes
[03:33.93]You chose this, you know it's suppose to be over
