Courage Lyrics - Winter Pays For Summer - Glen Phillips

At the start of the conversation 

I didn't have too much to say 

I was needing some inspiration 

And you just got in my way 

I took a shot at an easy target 

You were too stunned to say anything 

You were the unsuspecting martyr 

You were not the most dangerous game 

Bring my courage back now 

Bring it back to me 

I'm tired of being afraid of what I can't change 

I want to be living free 

Well it could be that I was mistaken 

Or maybe I deceived myself 

But it's hard to understand somebody 

Doesn't want to understand himself 

There's an ocean of unlatched windows 

And a world of unlocked homes 

The only reason anybody can still feel safe 

Is most people still knock on the door 

Bring my courage back now 

Would you bring it back to me 

I'm tired of being afraid of what I can't change 

I want to be living free 

I don't want to be a prisoner 

Bound in these chains 

Don't want to be a prisoner 

I want to be free again 

And though we all return to dust 

There's a lot of us in a terrible rush 

Some take the road to Damascus 

Some take the road to Hell 

I'll take Highway One to the evergreens 

And everything will turn out well 

Bring my courage back now 

Would you bring it back to me 

I'm tired of being afraid of what I can't change 

I want to be living free 

I don't want to be a prisoner 

Bound in these chains 

Slave to my fear 

I want to be free again 

I want to be free again
