Tapestry

Every time I drive through a yellow light
I touch the ceiling of my car, someone said it was good luck
And every time I laugh, I throw my whole head back
'Cause my best friend did that when we were growing up

And when the leaves turned red, I turned on Radiohead
'Cause an old boyfriend of mine always did

I'm a tapestry, everyone I've ever loved's
A part of me, woven, piece by piece
Together, worn and weathered, it
Keeps on making me better

It's a masterpiece, I'm made up of the colors
Others gave to me, from
The way I walk to the way I talk
To the things I believe, I'm a tapestry

I drink my coffee black and my wine red
'Cause my mother said that I should spend my sugar somewhere else
When I'm on holiday I always stay out late
Because my grandma taught me that the best stories happen that way

And when I can't sleep, I turn on South Philly re-runs
'Cause my dad did that when we were young

I'm a tapestry, everyone I've ever loved's
A part of me, woven, piece by piece
Together, worn and weathered
It keeps on making me better

It's a masterpiece, I'm made up of the colors
Others gave to me, from
The way I walk to the way I talk
To the things I believe, I'm a tapestry

And it might be worn around the edges (ooh)
But I'm counting all my blessings
And all the ones that lived there (ooh)
With me

For my tapestry, 'cause everyone I've ever loved's
A part of me, woven, piece by piece
Together, worn and weathered
It keeps on making me better

It's a masterpiece, I'm made up of the colors
Others gave to me, from
The way I walk to the way I talk
To the things I believe, I'm a tapestry
