Scars
MISSY HIGGINS LYRICS
"Scar"
I picked up this CD when I was in Australia, and I really like this song. The whole CD is great actually. I am not sure how to hook up links, but here is the address to view this song on you tube, so just copy and paste it into the browser and you can see for yourself how fabulous she is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wc6FgyC7rwU&mode=related&search=
I would love to hear your thoughts...
He left a card, a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note that said "use these down to your bones"And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy being clean like him. I thought "this one knows better than I do"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle. He tried to cut me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?And so that I do remember to never go that far,Could you leave me with a scar?
So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea And she told me don't trust them, trust me. Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, looked at my insides clicking her tongue and said"This will all have to come undone"
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle. She tried to blunt me so I'd fit
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?And so that I do remember to never go that far,Could you leave me with a scar?
I think I realized just in time, although my old self was hard to find. You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine' Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys. Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?
And doesn't that sound familiar? Doesn't that hit too close to home?Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could have gone?And doesn't it feel peculiar when everyone wants a little more?And so that I do remember to never go that far,Could you leave me with a scar?Could you leave me with a scar?
I can relate to this song and definitely have the scars! It helps me to remember not to try to fit into places that are not right for me (i.e. Korea, friendships, intimate relationships), and to save my finest wine for those who appreciate it.

hey nancy!
I totally dig that song! I listened to "the sound of white" first b/c, well, it came first on your blog, and I dig that one too!! This gushing obviously leads into me asking you if I can borrow the cd you bought.. :D
I think the line that stuck out for me the most upon my first listen to "Scar" was "I'm a little bit tired of fearing being hte bad fruit that no one buys."
Not that I feel like that, but I was just struck by the uniqueness of the analogy.
Also, she's pretty damn cute, eh?
