lyrics

I already wrote this letter, I already threw it away
Along with the only picture I wish I had from that day
Yes, I agree with what you said -
I could live that moment over and over and over again
But it’s not mine
And guilt is not an option for me

You can go, you can go
You can go, you can go
You can go, you can go
You can go, you can go

Crying over so many ceremonies, swimming circles in Santa Fe
Jog my memory to tow the line
Body’s keeping score, they say
I’ve been living moments in my head -
I could live them multiple times over and over again
But they’re not mine
And guilt is not an option for me

I can go, I can go
I can go, I can go
I can go, I can go
I can go, I can go

Don’t think I’ve wasted my time
Was just slow to realize what was and wasn’t mine
Happy to stay within the lines
Just know I’m watching for your kind
And for what is mine
