Capsize Me Lyrics by Sara Bareilles
Come on
One, two
I wrote a letter to myself
Pretended I was you
I swear my handwriting changed a little
Like it was you who told me what to do
You said, “Take a deep breath, sweet girl
And take a bird’s-eye view
There is nothing out here in the whole wide world
That is ever gonna capsize you”
I carry so much, but my back don’t break
It never lets me down
And I worry so much, but the worry don’t change
What I worry about
I can cry, I can cry, I can cry me a river
Deep enough to baptize me
The water’s gonna rise till I learn to remember
Nothing’s gonna capsize me
I just rode another wave of it
This one caught me by surprise
After so many years of working hard and getting better
I thought I’d left this part of me behind
Then I remember we are made to be
As infinite as anything
And the part of me who shudders can be a lighthouse for the others
Who need to find the shore when they are lost at sea
You’re just like me
I carry so much, but my back don’t break
It never lets me down
And I worry so much, but the worry don’t change
What I worry about
I can cry, I can cry, I can cry me a river
Deep enough to baptize me
The water’s gonna rise till I learn to remember
Nothing’s gonna capsize me
Rough waters make
Strong sailors
Rough waters make
Strong sailors
I can cry me a river
I carry so much
I can cry me a river
I carry so much
I can cry
I carry so much
Nothing’s gonna capsize me
I carry so much
Water’s gonna rise
Nothing’s gonna capsize me
