Come a Long Way

[Verse 1]
I've come a long way
I was a show on ice
Dazzling and brittle
But subject to the sun
And then one day
I went little by little
Back to the water
The place where I'd come from

[Pre-Chorus]
And I went under like stones tied in a sack
And I got emptied and started my way back

[Chorus]
My name (It's got your name on it)
My shame (It's got your name on it)
My home (It's got your name on it)
Everything I own
And all my schemes drowned at the seams
Have left me fine in my own skin
I've come a long way
Just to begin

[Verse 2]
I've come a long way
Under the cover of darkness
Trusting a stranger
A boatman at the shore
The scourge of hope
The ugly face of danger
The keepers of the keys
Had me down on my knees
In front of the gilded doors

[Pre-Chorus]
And in a world where every axe was poised to grind
To find my peace I only held up what was already mine

[Chorus]
My name (It's got your name on it)
My shame (It's got your name on it)
My home (It's got your name on it)
Everything I own
And all my swords have turned to words that blow
Like poems in the wind
I’ve come a long way

[Bridge]
I used to be twisted
When you called it an opiate
A simple way to cope and yet
I think you shouldn’t skip if you haven't worn the shoes
They start out tight
And then they hurt your tired feet at night
But then they give a little day by day
And then before you know it
You look back and you've come a long way

[Chorus]
(It's got your name on it)
My shame (It's got your name on it)
My home (It's got your name on it)
Everything I own
You call my name
You call my shame
My home
Everything I own
If it's got my name, it's got your name on it
Everything I own has got your name on it
When I was trying to cross the river
You were at the river getting me across and now
Everything, everything I own
Has got your name on it
Oh everything
I've got your name on it
