"The Revisionist" lyrics

Cousin with a skateboard
Steep driveway
Said, "I dare you," so I did
Now I got two scarred knees
And elbows
As long as I live

At the pink house
With the wet paint
6314 Wild Oak Drive
Momma said, "Don't touch it," but I did
Red-handed, my first lie

It's a shame you can't erase a bad decision
I've been reading into mine since '93
Can't outwrite it if it's wrong once it's written
Can't edit, just let it be history
Story of my life
I think that I'm finally getting it
I own it all
But I'd like to call The Revisionist

In Chattanooga, young love
Wasn't ready
But he was, so I did
Now I'm here, thinking 'bout how to tell my daughter
Someday 'bout that Holiday Inn

It's a shame you can't erase a bad decision
I've been reading into mine since '93
Can't outwrite it if it's wrong once it's written
Can't edit, just let it be history
Story of my life
I think that I'm finally getting it
I own it all
But I'd like to call The Revisionist

To destroy all the evidence
And all my tears on the cutting room floor
And back to those relationships
Where I've been a bitch
Prove that I'm not like that anymore

It's a shame you can't erase a bad decision
I've been reading into mine since '93
Can't outwrite it if it's wrong once it's written
Can't rip out all the pages 'bout you and me
It's all in quotes
And that's all she wrote, now, isn't it?
I own it all
But I'd still like to call The Revisionist
