Sean Watkins - Back on My Feet lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been angry I have strayed I've said words I never thought that I could say And you were sad and sweet Like an old bar song But I'll be back up on my feet before too long If you said you wanted me It's ‘cause I said it first Words rang hollow ‘til the emptiness became a thirst I will drink those words ‘til they made me strong [Chorus] And I'll be back up on my feet before too long I'll be back up on my feet before too long Before too long [Verse 2] If you met me now You never would have stuck around No, you never would have stuck around So I will lay me down By the salty sea And let the water pull the sand all over my body To wash me clean, like a river stone [Chorus] And I'll be back up on my feet before you know I'll be back up on my feet before too long Mmm Back on my feet Back on my feet Back on my feet
