I'm Still Standing
See these lines on my face
There a map of where I've been
In the deep they are traced
The deeper life has settled in
How do we survive
Living out our lives?
And I could not trade a line
Make it smooth and fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I want to rest my soul
Here where it can grow without fear
'Nother line, another year
I'm still standing here
See these marks on my skin
They are the lyric of my life
Every story I begin
Just means another end's in sight
Only lovers understand
Skin just covers who I am
And I could not trade a line
Make it smooth and fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I want to rest my soul
Here where it can grow without fear
'Nother line, another year
I'm still standing here
See these bruises, see these scars?
Hieroglyphs that tell the tale
You can read them in the dark
Through your fingertips like rain
And I would not trade a line
Make it smooth and fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I plan to rest my soul
Here where it can grow without fear
'Nother line, another year
I'm still standing here
I'm still standing here
I'm still standing here
There a map of where I've been
In the deep they are traced
The deeper life has settled in
How do we survive
Living out our lives?
And I could not trade a line
Make it smooth and fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I want to rest my soul
Here where it can grow without fear
'Nother line, another year
I'm still standing here
See these marks on my skin
They are the lyric of my life
Every story I begin
Just means another end's in sight
Only lovers understand
Skin just covers who I am
And I could not trade a line
Make it smooth and fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I want to rest my soul
Here where it can grow without fear
'Nother line, another year
I'm still standing here
See these bruises, see these scars?
Hieroglyphs that tell the tale
You can read them in the dark
Through your fingertips like rain
And I would not trade a line
Make it smooth and fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I plan to rest my soul
Here where it can grow without fear
'Nother line, another year
I'm still standing here
I'm still standing here
I'm still standing here
