"Shaping Up The Corner" lyrics

"Shaping Up The Corner"

I was twiddling my thumbs as I shuffled past the light
I was holding onto memories and thoughts that I might
Change the ways that I could be onto the other side
But I couldn't bring myself to understand or realize

Hell if I could pour myself a drink
Have myself a moment, I just need to think, oh

Shaping up the corner, the edge, the folds, the border
The line you draw to be outside another kind
Switching up the order, the future now the former
The worried you, you are sometimes

I was stuck inside that box, but I clawed myself right out
Then I stumbled over to see what the world was all about
And I couldn't believe the words that were coming out my mouth
I said, that's for me to know

Hell if I could pour myself to think
Have myself a moment, I just need a drink, oh

Shaping up the corner, the edge, the folds, the border
The line you draw to be outside another kind
Switching up the order, the future now the former
The worried you, you are sometimes

Hey there, younger me
It's nice to see your face
Within some time's reflection
And learning in each day
You're an engine, a powerhouse, a good kid all around
You'll make yourself someone to rely

Don't you worry now
Let me take your hand
And walk you through the hours
And help you understand
You'll find that fear, rip it out, see it clear and go without
And make ourselves someone who can cry

Hey there, older me
I'm glad to see you're good
I see you've made some changes
To the thoughts that I would
You hold yourself, talk it through
Feel the power that we knew
And made ourselves someone to rely
