little broken me

[VERSE 1] There's no way to climb that highest branch No one would even take the chance Except me, and it wasn't even a dare Something to prove, a glory to share But why oh why did I climb so high If I fall from here I'll probably die [BRIDGE] Didn't think about how to get down Holy crap I'm way off of the ground I'll just lower myself down to that shed If I get stuck up here I'll be dead [CHORUS] Laid out flat on my back Staring at the sky, trying to breathe The trees are taunting me A squirrel gave me the finger A lark shot me a zinger Broken leg, broken spirit, broken me. [VERSE 2] Slippery hold on this weeping tree A short drop through the air and I'm free Must have blacked out on the way down I don't remember landing on the ground Sound rushing back in lying flat on my back I didn't even hear that tibia crack [CHORUS] Laid out flat on my back Staring at the sky, trying to breathe The trees are taunting me A squirrel gave me the finger A lark shot me a zinger Broken leg, broken heart, broken me. [VERSE 3] Slowly waking and groggy I try lifting my leg A horror show so volatile watching my foot sag Fear and pain escaping, in a scream Please wake me up from this grotesque dream Everyone ran to get help or throw up Distant sirens I hope they hurry up [FINAL CHORUS: Group Chant] Laid out flat on my back (Every bump is stabbing pain) Staring at the sky, trying to breathe (Don't think I'll go climbing again) The trees are taunting me (Laughing arbors got me beat) A squirrel gave me the finger (Got a tingling in my feet) A lark shot me a zinger (Grandma holding my hand) Broken leg, (Hope they don't ask me to stand) broken heart, (Oh my God they said surgery) broken me. (Hope they don't cut me down to my knee) Broken me Broken me Broken me (well mostly) Broken Me
