I Need You to Tell Me Who I Am

I'm staring at the sky with a lump inside my throat

I'm as green as the grass in every song you wrote

Well babe, I'm afraid I lost it before you knew I had it

Boxes full of dust are falling from the attic

I threw my love into the ocean and I found it in the sand

And I need you to tell me who I am

I got years worth of work and I'm running low on tools

I've been worshiping the words of weary worn out fools

We stood out on the sidewalk throwing feathers at the castle

Be careful what you wish for, babe you look a little fragile

And they'll blow smoke in your direction til you don't know where you stand

And I need you to tell me who I am

I never cared for anyone so much

I was born with a bomb inside my gut

You spend so long looking that you never really see

I need you to tell me what to be

Well babe, I'm afraid I lost it before you knew I had it

I only wanted one thing and I put my faith in magic

I threw my love into the ocean and I found it in the sand

I need you to tell me who I am
