[Verse 1]
For somebody that barely left the house last week
I hurt myself a lot
Our corrugated cardboard or the dusty broken stereo
Got caught
The blood rushed from my fingertips like honey
As time goes by, the horror becomes funny
[Verse 2]
I pinched a nerve upon my back and shoulder
Couldn't sit or sleep at all
And if I wasn't so afraid, then maybe there'd be no pain
When I fall
A band-aid couldn't aid this kind of drama
Extend myself by adding up your commas
The lights above my kitchen sink are flickering again
Can't fix the problem
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I'm careful with my hands, but careful's not enough
To keep the body whole
A crumpled metal saxophone or sagging wooden table
Glue can't hold
I wrapped my thought in gauze and called my mom
I'll solve this one and reapply the balm
The teenager across the street is screaming at his parents
All night long
[Chorus]
I've got some nerve to never fear
I've got some nerve to keep you clear
I've got some nerve to tell you everything and nothing, not at all
I'm not your pogo stick or something to be stepped on
Not a failure, not a winner
Not that weak and not that strong
I've got some nerve to tell you to your face
That you've been stuck in just one place
I've got some nerve, I've got some nerve
I've got some nerve, I've got some nerve
I've got some nerve to never fear
I've got some nerve to keep you clear
I've got some nerve to tell you everything and nothing, not at all
I'm not your pogo stick or something to be stepped on
Not a failure, not a winner
Not that weak and not that strong
I've got some nerve to tell you to your face
That you've been stuck in just one place
I've got some nerve, I've got some nerve
I've got some nerve, I've got some nerve
