Lyrics

Ready, Able

I'm gonna take a stab at this
Sure you will be alright
Make a decision with a kiss
Maybe I have frostbite
And when I shuffled on back home
I'll make sure all of my tracks in the snow
Were gone

Tissue and bones, it was a tryst
This isn't a gunfight
Checking it off my list
Unable to rewrite

Five years, countless months and far alone
Hope I'm ready, able to make my own
Good home

They go, we go, I want you to know what I did, I did
They go, we go, I want you to know what I did, I did
They go, we go, I want you to know what I did, I did
They go, we go, I want you to know what I did, I did
They go, we go, I want you to know what I did, I did
They go, we go, I want you to know what I did, I did
