Back on My Feet Lyrics

I've been angry
And I have strayed
I've said words I never thought
That I could say
And you were sad and sweet
Like an old folk song
But I'll be back up on my feet
Before too long

You could say you wanted me
If I said it first
The words rang hollow
And the emptiness became a thirst
Now I could drink those words
They would make me strong
And I'd be back up on my feet
Before too long

If you'd 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
Over my body
To wash me clean
Like a river stone
And I'll be back up on my feet
Before you know it
I'll be back up on my feet
Before too long
