Measured, tailored
I've become everything that I've always run from
I admit it, I'm curious
The needle swims through every swath
What we make out of string and cloth
Is up to us, it always was
Pull our threads together
Fray all the ends
Try to get it perfect
Nobody can
As long as the stitches don't break
Rearranging what's in our hearts
'Til we become a disjointed collage
Of what is and never was
Here's to starting over
Always begin
The shapes we make will change
Again and again
As long as we don't run away
So many choices but I never looked back
This is just another
Pull our threads together
Fray all the ends
The shapes we make will change
Again and again
As long as we don't run away
So we can sew it back up when we break
Again
