lyrics

Precious

I’m not usually one for adventure
More of the stay at home kind
But I got shaken up good as ever
I went out of my way just to find

A way to switch of altogether
Or to switch on a part of my mind
So I left my home, left my shelter
You gotta change up these things from time to time

I got no seatbelt, got no life jacket only
Got my name, got a few dollars on me
I wear no hard hat, got no bulletproof vest on
I cling to this life like the last day of spring
How precious it is

Now I’m here where there’s grace in the chaos
And the street chokes with volume and fumes
But my mind is quiet and still here
Free of the clutter that used to consume

I got no seatbelt, got no life jacket only
Got my name, got a few dollars on me
I wear no hard hat, got no bulletproof vest on
I cling to this life like the last day of spring
How precious it is

So I’m checking out in order to check in
Signing off in order to sign in
Trying to gain on the distance I strayed
From myself, from the here and the now

I got no seatbelt, got no life jacket only
Got my name, got a few dollars on me
I wear no hard hat, got no bulletproof vest on
I cling to this life like the last day of spring
Like a baby’s tight grip
Like a lover’s last kiss
How precious it is
