[Verse]
I borrowed a tie
I said "Burden my body
Drain me like a sink make me weak and godly
Transform me from a little child"
So references were check and forms were filed
[Chorus]
And my first mistake
Was doing hard work for its own sake
Now my frame is battered and worn
I'm still spoiled as the day I was born
[Verse]
At fifteen I admire your silver hair
Sunken eyes and the troubled look you wear
And I want this thunder cloud to linger
Anything to hide these un-calloused fingers
[Chorus]
And my first mistake
Was doing hard work for its own sake
Now my frame is battered and worn
I'm still spoiled as the day I was born
[Bridge]
But sometimes a cross
Is just a cross
Sometimes the extra mile (A mile)
Is just an extra mile
I've got to find (I've got to find)
Another way to remake myself (To remake)
But I don't know what it is (But I don't know)
I don't know what it is (What it is)
Oh sometimes a cross (A cross)
Is just a cross (Just a cross)
Sometimes the extra mile is just an extra mile (A mile)
And I've got, I've got, I've got (I've got)
To find another way to remake myself (To find a way)
But I don't know what it is (But I don't know)
I don't know what it is
