DIRT
______________________

Without a care
In your cap and gown
You lift a solo cup for the last hurrah
And there's a sense that the world is ours
Offer up a toast to the passing hours

And at my worst
I was hopeless and ugly
A figure in the dirt
fumbling for someone
And at first
I thought you were pretty
A goddess in the suburbs
Beholden to no one

You went to State
And I stayed in town
Bagging people's groceries
Till the cash came round
Holidays
That's when you came back home
You'd tell told me bout your classes
And the boys you know

Compared
To your princes I'm worthless
I whither in your presence
I'm gathering dust
And you fear
You were taken for granted
Concerned about your image
and who can you trust

It's been 10 years
I've seen you off and on
Got a marriage on the rocks
With a 4 year old son
Are we catching up
Or are you just latching on
Thinking about what ifs
Like we've always done

At our worst
We were hopeless and ugly
Figures in the dirt
Fumbling for someone
At first
You were young and so pretty
The daggers did their damage
Till you were too scared to be loved.

You wanna feel worth something darling
You wanna feel the earth over your skin
You wanna feel worth something darling
You wanna feel something...

And at first
I thought you were pretty
A goddess in the suburbs
Beholden to no one
At at our worst
We were hopeless and ugly
Figures in the dirt
Fumbling for someone to touch...
