Six years old, grandma's house
She cut my onions like McDonalds
Blue wild flowers on a fluffy bed
Robins and worms, slip and slide, paradise for a kid
But I wanted home

I just wanna be safe, I just wanna be good enough
But mercifully you won't let me be, you won't let me be
mercifully, you won't let me be, you won't let me be, oh you won't let me

Soft breeze carries blossoms and beauty
The air shimmers with a promise
Clear blue water, dragonfly
Beckons beyond, even in joy, even in joy
what I want is home

I just wanna be safe, I just wanna be good enough
But mercifully you won't let me be, you won't let me be
mercifully, you won't let me be, you won't let me be, oh you won't let me

Further up and further in, further up an further in
I ache and I long for my one true home (3x)
All this beauty, all this goodness
Just glimpses and shards, it's just glimpses and shards

I just wanna be safe, I just wanna be good enough
But mercifully you won't let me be, you won't let me be
mercifully, you won't let me be, you won't let me be, oh you won't let me
