JUST ENOUGH PAIN

 

Too little shade and too much sun
You get burned, get just enough pain to learn from

You move too far, you move too fast
You test your heart out, you scale it back
You get just enough blood to burn, son

Oh, why the medicine days
Why the sickness, why the rage
I needed just enough pain to learn from

Oh, why’d I do it that way
What is this now, why this day
Can I have just one something not go wrong

And I can't take anymore
I’ll stay inside of my door
To hide the pain
And I mean it this time
I’ve been pushed too far across the line and I - - 

I guess I’m fine

​

Two little shoes
To make you walk
Out to somewhere your heart can talk
You get all the space in the world for it

​

You take a licking and you take it strong
You take abuse but not for long
You take just enough pain to learn from

Oh, why the reticent haze
Why get blasted, why get blazed
Why does nothing feel the same when I burn one

Oh, why the medicine days
The real, real, real, real, Mama said she wants you to learn, son

And I can't take any more
I'll stay inside of my door
To hide the pain
And I mean it this time
I've been pushed too far across the line and I - -

I guess I'm fine

​

Two little eyes to point to where you're going
Too little knowledge of the know you should be knowing
You're heading in blind to the turn, son

Two little shoes to make you walk
Out to somewhere your heart can talk
You get all the space in the world

And I can't take any more
Bust down my door
Show you my pain
And I mean it this time
I've been pushed too far across the line and I - -
I guess I'm fine
I guess I'm fine
I guess I'm fine
I guess I'm fine
