I'm a writer if I write
I'm a painter if I put a brush to it
I'm a mother if I care about finding the guy with the 401K

I will call you
When the light at the gate starts to flicker and fade
Just to tell you I'm not afraid
I will have lived

The importance of a shoe
As it marches me to and away from you
It's amazing
Come and see my collection of scars that I've found on the way

I will see you
In the moments I'll spend between pillows and trains
Some will pass through, others will stay
And I will have lived

I'll find the traffic, I'll find construction
Fight all the battles with no instruction
Lose all the pages, miss all the exits
Climb just to fall, darlin', I don't care

I will see you
In the moments I'll spend between pillows and trains
Some will pass through
And scrape out the fake until beauty remains

I will call you
When the light at the gate starts to flicker and fade
Just to tell you I'm not afraid
I will have lived
