Lyrics
Square One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Had to find some higher ground.
Had some fear to get around.
You can say what you don't know.
Later on won't work no more.
Last time through I hid my tracks.
So well I could not get back.
Yeah my way was hard to find.
Can't sell your soul for peace of mind.
[Chorus:]
Square one, my slate is clear.
Rest your head on me my dear.
It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears.
It took a long time to get back here.
Tried so hard to stand alone.
Struggled to see past my nose.
Always had more dogs than bones.
I could never wear those clothes
It's a dark victory.
You won and you are so lost.
Told us you were satisfied, but it never came across.
[Chorus]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2x]
