lyrics

I was going all the wrong directions
Making only bad connections
And I got an impressive collection of
Scars and enemies
Some who were best friends to me
And lovers who would never be
cause I could never get the nerve up
and shameful memories
of the mess I used to be
but that rough and tumble road led me to you
Too 

The path I chose is a field filled with landmines
I stepped on every one I could find
It goes to show you can’t trust fools like me
To handle any precious things
But with each contusion, from confusion came a clearer point of view
And every broken bone and drunken phone call taught me what not to do

I was going all the wrong directions
Making only bad connections
And I got an impressive collection of
Scars and enemies
Some who were best friends to me
And lovers who would never be
cause I could never get the nerve up
and shameful memories
of the mess I used to be
but that rough and tumble road led me to you
Too  

Tempting fate is great when you might win
That’s not the situation I’m in
I never could stay out of a game
Even though they always end the same 
A couple hundred stitches a dozen ditches
I could never seem to fill
Still I fill with pride that I survived some things that should have killed me.

So though I’m going all the right directions
and only need this one connection
I get to keep my collection of
Scars and enemies
Some who were best friends to me
And lovers who would never be
cause I could never get the nerve up
and shameful memories
of the mess I used to be
‘cause that rough and tumble road led me to you
Too
