Capsize Me

I wrote a letter to myself

Pretended I was you

I swear my handwriting changed a little

Like it was you who told me what to do

You said "Take a deep breath sweet girl"

Take a bird's-eye view

There is nothing out here in the whole wide world

That is ever gonna capsize you

I carry so much but my back don't break

It never lets me down

And I worry so much but the worry don't change

What I worry about

I could cry I could cry I could cry me a river

Deep enough to baptize me

The water's gonna rise 'til I learn to remember

Nothing's gonna capsize me

I just rode another wave of it

This one caught me by surprise

After so many years of working hard and getting better

I thought I'd left this part of me behind

Then I remember we are made to be

As infinite as anything

And the part of me who shudders

Can be a lighthouse for the others

Who need to find the shore when they are lost at sea

Yeah just like me

I carry so much but my back don't break

It never lets me down

And I worry so much but the worry don't change

What I worry about

I could cry I could cry I could cry me a river

Deep enough to baptize me

The water's gonna rise 'til I learn to remember

Nothing's gonna capsize me

Rough waters make strong sailors

strong sailors)

Rough waters make strong sailors

I can cry me a river

I carry so much)

I can cry me a river

I carry so much)

I can cry

I carry so much)

Nothing's gonna capsize me

I carry so much)

Water's gonna rise

Nothing's gonna capsize me
