"Parting Gift" lyrics

"Parting Gift"
(feat. Brendan Kelly)

I was born among the flowers in a plastic vase
On a windowsill in a hospital room
Yeah, they cut me out, I'm a parting gift
30 years later, torn between 2
All my pedals to the ground cuz I can never slow down
A speeding ticket and an ultrasound
Yeah, this wasn't on the ultrasound

I'm a only child, disconnected
Calculated every movement
Wished upon the moon when it wasn't there
I never even had a lesson
I got chances more than slim
I felt like a parting gift that you picked up on a whim
Drop me in the middle of the ocean and expected me to swim

I was born under the water in another state
At the top of a hill where the flowers bloom
The world pulled me in, I'm a parting gift
30 years later I turned into someone new
All my petals to the ground
A gift receipt and a wedding gown
Last seen at the lost and found
Yeah, they got me at the lost and found

1992
Don't wanna be in your shoes
One day you'll feel good as new
Gold and baby blue
Gold and baby blue

I'm a only child, disconnected
Calculated every movement
Wished upon the moon when it wasn't there
I never even had a lesson
I got chances more than slim
I felt like a parting gift that you picked up on a whim
Drop me in the middle of the ocean and expected me to swim
Drop me in the middle of the ocean and expected me to swim
Drop me in the middle of the ocean and expected me to swim
Drop me in the middle of the ocean and expected me to swim
