"Penny" lyrics

"Penny"

A penny for your thoughts
What's left of my ego, my eyes
And a lifetime of blind obedience for your love

I'm just dumb enough to beg
Hands and knees and everything short of a diamond ring
I won't be fooled again

I'm wasting my time chasing your light
A circuitous clown balancing on a wire between two lives
Man, I'm just wasted

A penny for your thoughts
And quite literally the entirety of my life insurance policy for your love

I hope it's enough

(Away) You're so soft spoken you might blow away
(Away) You're so soft spoken you might blow away
(Away) You're so soft spoken that I'm afraid you might blow away
I'm afraid
