Knee on the Ground

from Knee on the Ground by Sher Vadinska

lyrics

One hand on the knob, one foot out the door
licking my lips for what I can’t see ‘round the corner
Where I’ve been, what I’ve done
what I said to you is a bottom-dragging anchor

In a seed, a tree, an ocean in a drop of rain
In a suitcase, a box of photos, a freight train
but it’s your leg barely touching mine
your slippery smile right now is all I can contain

We know what it takes to get up every day and do it again
We know it takes sweat and tears, a bucket, a shovel, a knee on the ground
We know it takes a little love all around

I’ve mended fences, left open gates, tied myself up in knots
I’ve scratched off scabs, wore out my welcome, jammed some locks
I swallowed your strong medicine
gave you a dose of me and here we are again

We know what it takes to get up every day and do it again
We know it takes sweat and tears, a bucket, a shovel, a knee on the ground
We know it takes a little love all around

So blow out the light, slip off your dress
undo the night, leave me an unraveled mess
Oh my, oh my, oh my girl, one thing’s for sure,
we’ve got a lot of love in our little world

To live like a fish isn’t thirsty must be a dance upon a wire
To live like a moth craves the flame, holy fire
peeling off every last thin skin of mine
nothing to lose, no thing of me left behind

‘Cause I know what it takes to get up every day and be myself again
I know it takes sweat and tears, a bucket, a shovel, a knee on the ground
I know, I know, I know it takes it a lot of love inside and out
It takes a lot of love, a lot of love
a lot of love all around
