Every Thing

When I saw my suitcase
Sitting on the front porch
That’s when I knew that your mind was made
With the wind of a storm and the fire of a torch
You issued me my fate
You said I should’ve known
But I never had the notion
Never did it even once cross my mind
I took my wedding ring
And threw it in the ocean
To never find it back to make it right

So give me my silver spoon
Give me those books I never read
And my horseshoes
I want everything back but you
Have you seen through tear-stained eyes
The ugly side of a wave goodbye, goodnight
And give me that box of matches too
I’m taking everything back to spite you
I want everything back but you
I want everything back but you

With a car full of shit, full of everything I owned
I felt heavy like a mountain
When I pulled over to the shoulder of the road
I felt like I was drowning
I began to think that I should lighten my load
And I thought of how I left you
I heard your voice and the lesson that you told
And I knew what I had to do

So I gave away my silver spoon
I gave away the books and the box of matches
And horseshoes
And then I drove to the ocean blue
When I reached down with my hand
I found my ring laying in the sand
Goddamn
And I dreamt I told you everything
How I gave it all up and found that ring

But now I don't want anything back but you
I don't want anything back but you
