jennifer nettles - on the shoulders of giants lyrics

an old b-m pushes a shopping cart that he stole from winn dixie parking lot.
it’s 1: 00am and i’m on my way home.
i left there before it came to shouts, just in time to see him spit his apple out.
left your door and made a beeline for my own.

i tell you it’s alright but i’m thinking f-ck you anyway.
you blame you for breaking promises, but i blame me for ever believing a word you’d say.
i got what i need but it’s not with you, and for what i want, i don’t have the nerve.
so i guess again it comes down to i got what i deserved.
and oh, don’t be afraid just look around.
go on and say it, it’s just a breath with a sound.
and oh don’t be afraid to fall.
when we’re on the shoulders of giants after all.

you smile as if i had nothing better to do, as if you were one of the chosen few,
as if there were nothing cooler than you.
still i know you by touch and i know you by smell.
and i know you by ways too vulgar to tell.
see, i guess i know you a little too well so that smile is fitting for you.

and oh, don’t be afraid just look around.
go on and say it, it’s just a breath with a sound.
and oh don’t be afraid to fall.
when we’re on the shoulders of giants after all.

i don’t sleep with my politics, i choose not to hate.
’cause i don’t wear my heart where my knees separate.
it’s crotch propaganda, bat for both teams, and it’s me not choosing sides standing in between.

an old b-m pushes a shopping cart each notices the other and jumps with a start.
it’s 2: 00am and i’ve found my way home.
well it’s giants in slumber but it’s sleep that won’t stay.
it’s singing harps that got away.
and i fold my body to fit this furniture, hit the lights and call it a day.
