soul miner's daughter - on the shoulders of giants lyrics

[verse 1: jennifer nettles]
an old bum pushes a shopping cart
that he stole from winn dixie parking lots
1 a.m. 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
and left your door and made a beeline for my own
oh, oh

[verse 2: jennifer nettles]
i tell you it’s alright but i’m thinking, “f+ck you anyway”
and you blame you for breaking promises
and i blame me for ever believing a word you’d say
and i got what i need but it’s not with you
and for what i want, i don’t have the nerve
so, guess again it comes down to i got what i deserved

[chorus: jennifer nettles, jennifer nettles & cory jones]
and oh, don’t be afraid, just look around
and oh, 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

[verse 3: jennifer nettles, jennifer nettles & cory jones]
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 all too well
so that smile is fitting for you
[chorus: jennifer nettles, jennifer nettles & cory jones]
oh, don’t be afraid, just look around
oh, 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

[verse 4: jennifer nettles, cory jones, both]
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
and an old bum’s pushing a shopping cart
each notices the other and jumps with a start
it’s 2 a.m. and i’ve found my way home
found my way through
and 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 light and call it a day

[chorus: jennifer nettles, jennifer nettles & cory jones]
oh, don’t be afraid, just look around
and oh, 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
[outro: cory jones & jennifer nettles]
don’t be afraid, just look around (oh)
go on and say it, it’s just a breath with a sound
go on and say it, it’s just a breath with a sound
go on and say it, it’s just a breath with a sound (i’ll do it)
go on and say it, it’s just a breath with a, breath with a sound
i’ll do it
