See these lines upon my face
They’re a map of where I’ve been
In the deep they are traced a deeper life has settled in
How do we survive living out our lives
I wouldn’t trade a line make it smooth or fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I want to rest my soul here where it can grow without fear
Another line another year
I’m still standing here
See these marks upon my skin
They’re the lyric of my life
Every story that begins
Means another ends in sight
Only lover’s understand
Skin just covers who I am
I wouldn’t trade a line make it smooth or fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I want to rest my soul here where it can grow without fear
Another line another year
I’m still standing here
See these bruises see these scars
Hieroglyphs that tell the tale
You can read them in the dark
Through your fingertips like braille
I wouldn’t trade a line make it smooth or fine
Or pretend that time stands still
I want to rest my soul here where it can grow without fear
Another line another year
I’m still standing here
