Jennifer Nettles - On The Shoulders Of Giants lyrics

An old bum pushes a shopping cart that he stole from Winn Dixie parking lot. It's 1:00am and I'm on my way home. I left there before it came to shouts, just in time to see him spit his apple out. Left your door and made a beeline for my own. I tell you it's alright but I'm thinking f** you anyway. You blame you for breaking promises, but I blame me for ever believing a word you'd say. I got what I need but it's not with you, and for what I want, I don't have the nerve. So I guess again it comes down to I got what I deserved. And oh, don't be afraid just look around. Go on and say it, it's just a breath with a sound. And oh don't be afraid to fall. When we're on the shoulders of giants after all. You smile as if I had nothing better to do, as if you were one of the chosen few, As if there were nothing cooler than you. Still I know you by touch and I know you by smell. And I know you by ways too vulgar to tell. See, I guess I know you a little too well so that smile is fitting for you. And oh, don't be afraid just look around. Go on and say it, it's just a breath with a sound. And oh don't be afraid to fall. When we're on the shoulders of giants after all. I don't sleep with my politics, I choose not to hate. 'Cause I don't wear my heart where my knees separate. It's crotch propaganda, bat for both teams, and it's me not choosing sides standing in between. An old bum pushes a shopping cart each notices the other and jumps with a start. It's 2:00am and I've found my way home. Well it's giants in slumber but it's sleep that won't stay. It's singing harps that got away. And I fold my body to fit this furniture, hit the lights and call it a day.
