Rosie Oh

As I walked across the bridge

With a backpack cross my shoulder blades

The Everglades below the wooden cracks



You had offered up a ride

So I might not get accosted by

The watery slide



But I said no I'd rather not

Said no

I'd rather not step in

Said no

I'd rather not

Step in



As I left my home I cried

And a substituted figure tried

To reconcile the things I'd left behind



You had opened up the doors

And made a place where I could sit inside

And fortify



But I said no I'd rather not

Said no

I'd rather not

Said no

I'd rather not step in



I'm on my own [x4]

Now no one's been invested in

How no one knows what's best for him



I'm on my own [x4]

When no one's left to light the load

Then someone goes to lift alone



I'd like to embrace it

I'd like to embrace it

I'd like to embrace it all

[x2]



Have I made this or is it

That I've been made?
