Shaky Ground

by Molly Venter

on Love Me Like You Mean It: The Red Album (2006), Love Me Like You Mean It 2008 (2008)

I'm thinking out loud, I'm talking in circles, without taking a pause
I am over stimulated and intoxicated by the applause
I've been stepping on land mines and running straight into things
Now I am broken down, I am broken up, and there's no one to save me.

I'm sorting through junk mail, sorting out lies I've come to believe
All my fingers are shaking as I rip the nail off with my teeth
And I've got good friends around me, so close I would throw a stone
Oh, I've trouble relating when I'm self-medicating and alone

And I guess I'm taking this slow, I'm on shaky feet on shaky ground
And I guess I've got a lot more to know about leaving a battlefields alone.

I'm calling on God, I'm calling my doctor and nearly everyone I know
They all tell me the same thing, they say it's the only way you're gonna grow
Well sometimes I believe it, but still I'm overwhelmed by everything small
Oh it's not for lack of blessings, I've got no lack of anything at all

I guess I'm taking this slow, I'm on shaky feet on shaky ground
And I guess I've got a lot more to know about leaving a battlefields alone.

And all of my life I have been having these crazy dreams
All of my life I have been living in extremes
I am either the smartest or the slowest, the bravest or most weak
Oh when in truth I am just somewhere in between

And I guess I'm taking this slow, I'm on shaky feet on shaky ground
And I guess I've got a lot more to know about leaving a battlefields alone.
Hallelujah, halleluhah....
Hallelujah, halleluhah....
