Lyrics Scars & Stiches - Guster

Can you remember?
What the future held
A little candy ring
And a mystic ocean's shell

But they were all anesthetized
Slowly washed away
Left all the poison in the sands in which I played

I don't mind falling down and scraping up my knees
Scars and stitches always fade and only strengthen me
With my eyes as wide as pearls
My only centerpiece
Is taken like a dead man's urn and tossed into the sea

Write me a letter
And dot your I's and cross you T's
Nothing was everything to me
Under the monster's claws and in between his teeth
Was the shadow and a silhouette of what I'd thought I'd be?

I don't mind falling down and scraping up my knees
Scars and stitches always fade and only strengthen me
But with my eyes as wide as pearls
My only centerpiece
Is floating on the ocean's bed and floats there endlessly
Well it's taken like a dead man's urn and tossed into the sea
