A Few Small Bruises

Maria Mena · White Turns Blue [2004]

Out here on the ledge

I'm not far away from stepping off

I finally picked out my cloud

It's the one over there

Surrounded by all that air

You reached out your hand

and said "I understand"

So why not come down



Well except for a few small bruises

cuts and scars, well I'm fine

Or except for a few small bruises

cuts and scars, well I'm fine



Thank you for asking

I'm so glad we had this moment here

I know they think I'm crazy

But everything I am is everything that was taught to me

and you reached out your hand

and said "I understand"



So why not come down?



Oh except for a few small bruises,

cuts, and scars, well I'm fine

Oh except for a few small bruises,

cuts, and scars, well I'm fine



And as you read my words out loud

Make me sound genius

Make me sound special

and Maybe I'll come down



Well except for a few small bruises

cuts and scars, well I'm fine

Or except for a few small bruises

cuts and scars, well I'm fine



And as you read my words out loud

Make me sound genius

Make me sound special

and Maybe I'll come down
