Slight Figure Of Speech - The Avett Brothers

They say you've got to lose a couple fights to win

It's hard to tell from where I'm sitting

They say that this is where the fun begins

I guess it's time that I was quitting

A slight figure of speech

I cut my chest wide open

They come and watch us bleed

Is it art like I was hoping now

They said "I hope that you will never change"

I went and cut my hair

They say "Don't take your business to the big time"

I bought us tickets there

A slight figure of speech

I cut my chest wide open

They come and watch us bleed

Is it art like I was hoping now

What did you expect

And what did you forget

That to live you let go of me with each step

It becomes a progression

I won't let regret manifest

To aggression

Are you to assess what I've been

What I am Or become

Did you stop to accept how pathetically dumb

It can be to

Attack those around 'cause you're

True to color a town a time or a place

It's not you it's not mine

And besides it is gone

And you never will find it again

But I don't want to fight

I just ask let me be

I won't give the chance to be my enemy

So go home

Think it through

A jet plane and a big idea

I jump over the sea

What ifs hot on my trail

But that can't catch me no

A slight figure of speech

I cut my chest wide open

They come and watch us bleed

Is it art like I was hoping now
