Mine Fields

I woke up this morning, blankets thick like my tongue

My thinking still tangled, couldn't get the words to come

Yesterday I could fly, forgot to come back to the ground

You watched me in the sky, knowing how I always circle down

And when I'm just getting by, that's when I see myself a fool

When I'm just getting by, that's when I thank god for you

There's snow on my windshield and I'm hours from home

I crack my window open and think of you asleep and warm

I was just singing, forgot to come back to the ground

And with my ears ringing, I'll try not to make a sound

And when I'm just getting by, that's when I see myself a fool

When I'm just getting by, that's when I thank god for you

I felt like crying to your half-asleep heart

No reason, really, sometimes I just fall apart

It used to scare you when I'd come back to the ground

Now you just hold me, knowing how I always circle around

And when I'm just getting by, that's when I see myself a fool

When I'm just getting by, that's when I thank god for you
