Nettles (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse]

We were in a race to grow up

Yesterday, through today, 'til tomorrow

But when the plant blew up

A piece of shrapnel flew and slowed that part of you

The doctors gave you until the end of the night

But not 'til daylight (Not 'til daylight), not 'til daylight (Not 'til daylight)

Time passes slower in the flicker of a hospital light

I pray the race is worth the fight

[Pre-Chorus]

Made a fool of myself down on Tennessee Street

It wasn't pretty like the movies, it was ugly like what they all did to me

And they did to me what I wouldn't do to anyone

You know that's for sure

[Chorus]

Tell me all the time not to worry

And think of all the time that I'll have with you

When I won't wake up on my own (Wake up on my own, wake up on my own)

Held close all of time knowin' I'm half of you
