Sprig

I want my life to sparkle like the ocean
Sparkle like the ocean on a clear summer day
But sometimes I feel like a little dirty puddle
Waitin for some boot to come and splash me away

So I lie in my bed
Close the shades, bury my head
Like if I hide long enough
Thinkin I got it rough
I could make it all go away
I could make it all go away

I want my life to be strong like an oak tree
Strong like an oak tree, the sturdiest thing around
But sometimes I feel like a scraggly sprig of clover
Waitin for someone to come pluck me out the ground

So I walk round this town
Slouched down low, lookin down
Like if I hide long enough
Thinkin I got it rough
I could make it all go away
I could make it all go away

I want my life to be perty like a sunset
Perty like a sunset, for everyone to see
But sometimes I feel like the fog rollin over
All thick and bloated messin up the scenery

So I drive out at night
Far from home, far from sight
Like if I hide long enough
Thinkin I got it rough
I could make it all go away
I could make it all go away
