"Damage" lyrics

Hello, sit down, let's talk a while
I'll start a fire, and you can look me in the eye
And tell me why you think you're good for this position
Once you agree you will forget we ever met
And all your life it will be spent an effort
Trying to recall this conversation
No matter who you try to be
It's never free, you have to pay
Someday you'll realize
The end results aren't due to your decisions

So take your baggage
Use this pen
Down the line
We'll meet again
Enjoy your life now
Enjoy your time
Here's the damage
Now sign on the dotted line

I'll send you on your way
But let me say before you go
The load you bear may feel scary
But I'd never give you more than you can carry
So keep a lightness in your step
And keep your dreams safe in your mind
And should you meet a gun that's smoking
Tell him
When God made man
She was only joking

So take your baggage
And use this pen
Down the line
We'll meet again
Enjoy your life now
Enjoy your time
Here's the damage
Now sign on the dotted line

Sign on the dotted line
Damage
Damage
