I Am A Manchild
The Duncan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Back in my young days
And I used to shut the doors
Right in peoples faces
And about that time I stole that can
I told no one about
And tried to drink it down
Before I spit it out
I've hung around that old barstool
Many times before
Had a running back dream way back when
Till I let it slip and fall
Scraped some paint off of my car
Broke a fence and ran from the law
Been lower than low but I know
There ain't too low for you so
Meet me where I am
And show me where to go
Cause I'm so far from perfect
Only something that you know
When you went and beat the grave
And now your life lives on
Saving ones like me
Who are barely hanging on
So meet me where I am
Meet me where I am
Meet me where I am
When we got in our first fight
And I thought it was the end
I made a mess
That ain't worth cleaning up
And it sure wasn't my last
But I knew by now I needed help
And direction with my life
So Lord I beg please for me
Just hear me out
Meet me where I am
And show me where to go
Cause I'm so far from perfect
Only something that you know
When you went and beat the grave
And now your life lives on
Saving ones like me
Who are barely hanging on
So meet me where I am
Meet me where I am
Meet me where I am
Meet me where I am
And show me where to go
Cause I'm so far from perfect
Only something that you know
When you went and beat the grave
And now your life lives on
Saving ones like me
Who are barely hanging on
So meet me where I am
Meet me where I am
Meet me where I am
Meet me where I am
