Thorns

We don’t always get to choose Little stones get in our shoes The sun goes under as we head home And I see it living in your shadow On summer days in the green of the grass When you’re on the beach and you hold your lovers hand Don’t you know It follows you wherever you go Don’t you know, don’t you know It follows you wherever you go Until you pull your thorns Such a small part of your life That clipped your wings and dimmed your light How can you seize the day and breathe in When every day you're fighting demons On winter days in the warmth of your home When you’re out of town with your friends or alone Don’t you know It follows you wherever you go Don’t you know, don’t you know It follows you wherever you go Until you pull your thorns Don't you know You're gonna find your road home Through the smoke And it will lead you onwards You are strong Flowers take time to grow Don’t you know It follows you wherever you go Don’t you know, don’t you know It follows you wherever you go Until you pull your thorns Don’t you know It follows you wherever you go Don’t you know, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh It follows you wherever you go Until you pull your thorns
