Get em up, get em up, get your shoulders up
Get your backbone straight give an empty cup
Put your ax in the wood get your focus fixed
Get your body in the ring gotta take some licks

And let it all come back to you
All the memories what she put you through
Bring it up to the light put it in a frame
Hang it out in the open where the children play

Let it sting your eyes, clamp your chest
Lead with love and embrace the rest
Embrace the demons with all their claws
Embrace this life with all its scars

And how can i forgive of you
Things you said you'd never do
Words you'd said you'd never say
Darling how'd we lose our way
Out in the wilderness
Just trying our best to stay free

At an empty space on the edge of town
You had us meet on neutral ground
Your coat was grey your eyes were blue
My arms and hands ached for you
My stolen train my flock of birds
When your lips said those words
Trees went black angels fell
Armies burned the carousel

Say it didn't mean a thing
Say your coming home again
Up the river of regret
Say we ain't seen nothin' yet

How can i forgive of you
Things you said you'd never do
Words you'd said you'd never say
Darling how'd we lose our way
In the wilderness where loneliness cuts so deep

And all the expectations we put upon ourselves to be
Things our parents never would
How could we have lived so sure
In the wilderness just trying our best to stay free
