Guster - Scars & Stitches lyrics

Can you remember what the future held?
A little candy ring and
A mystic ocean's shell
They were anesthetized and slowly washed away
Left all the poison in the
Sands in which I played

I don't mind falling down and
Scraping up my knees
Scars and stitches always fade
And only strengthen me
With my eyes as wide as
Pearls my only centerpiece
Is taken like the dead man's urn
And tossed into the sea

Write me a letter and dot your I's
And cross your T's
Nothing was everything to me
Under the monster's claws and
In between his teeth
Was the shadow and a silhouette of
What I'd thought I'd be

I don't mind falling down and
Scraping up my knees
Scars and stitches always fade
And only strengthen me
With my eyes as wide as
Pearls my only centerpiece
Is floating on the ocean's bed
And floats there endlessly
Well it's taken like the dead man's
Urn and tossed into the sea
