Letra de Slight Figure of Speech - The Avett Brothers

They say you gotta 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 all like I was hoping now

They said "I hope that you will never change"

I went and cut my hair

They said "Don't take your business to the big town"

I bought us tickets there

A slight figure of speech

I cut my chest wide open

They come and watch us bleed

Is it all like I was hoping now

What did you expect

And what did you forget

That to live you must 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 a color, or a town, or 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 you the chance to be my enemy

So go home

Think it through

A jet plane and a big idea

I jump over the seat

What Ifs hot on my trail

But they can't catch me, no

A slight figure of speech

I cut my chest wide open

They come and watch us bleed

Is it all like I was hoping now
