You are mine again, every mistake that you made
All the people that you saved that took a little piece of you with them
You are mine again, and I’m so damn glad you’re here
Talking strong, sober, and clear like you couldn’t back then
How many sad songs it take, to get your stubborn ass awake?
What finally got you rising from your bed?
Was it the sunset on her cheeks, leading down to a delicate collar bone, or judgement of your mind when you’re alone?
Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been?
I’ve been struggling to get back to you
And if you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try
To get past the things that you’ve been through
‘Cause no one plays it cool quite the way you do
Are those tires you got still turning? Is the spirit you had still burning?
Do you still talk that shit the way you did before?
All the women and the wages and the wars that I’ve been waging
I just don’t feel like fighting anymore
Mine again, my fondest friend where the hell you been?
I’ve been struggling to get back to you
And if you fight all night I’m sure you’ll gain the guts to try
To get past the things that you’ve been through
‘Cause no one plays it cool quite the way you do
Mine again
So head back home and be who you know you can
Mine again
So don’t be so cruel and play God with all his plans
Well I am mine again, every mistake that I make
And I ain’t ashamed to say who the hell I am
‘Cause I am mine again, and I’m so damn glad I’m here
Talking strong, sober, and clear like I couldn’t back then
