Come a Long Way

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've come a long way I was a show on ice Dazzling and brittle But subject to the sun And then one day I went little by little Back to the water The place where I'd come from [Pre-Chorus] And I went under like stones tied in a sack And I got emptied and started my way back [Chorus] My name (It's got your name on it) My shame (It's got your name on it) My home (It's got your name on it) Everything I own And all my schemes drowned at the seams Have left me fine in my own skin I've come a long way Just to begin [Verse 2] I've come a long way Under the cover of darkness Trusting a stranger A boatman at the shore The scourge of hope The ugly face of danger The keepers of the keys Had me down on my knees In front of the gilded doors [Pre-Chorus] And in a world where every axe was poised to grind To find my peace I only held up what was already mine [Chorus] My name (It's got your name on it) My shame (It's got your name on it) My home (It's got your name on it) Everything I own And all my swords have turned to words that blow Like poems in the wind I've come a long way [Bridge] I used to be twisted When you called it an opiate A simple way to cope and yet I think you shouldn't skip if you haven't worn the shoes They start out tight And then they hurt your tired feet at night But then they give a little day by day And then before you know it You look back and you've come a long way [Chorus] (It's got your name on it) My shame (It's got your name on it) My home (It's got your name on it) Everything I own You call my name You call my shame My home Everything I own If it's got my name, it's got your name on it Everything I own has got your name on it When I was trying to cross the river You were at the river getting me across and now Everything, everything I own Has got your name on it Oh everything I've got your name on it
