Thick-Fingered
by Aaron Bentley

(Description)
Lyrics
Verse 1
Thick-fingered--
And hesitant, too.
Never finish what I set out to do.
Beat myself up 'till I'm black and blue.
Always been like this, I wish it was new.
Chorus (repeat)
But always, there's another day,
And I'm searching for another way.
I try and hope and wish and pray
One day I won't have to say...
Verse 2
Thick-fingered--
Still craftin' my plans,
Watchin' as they fall apart in my hands.
Flowin' through my fingers, like Time's own sands.
Can I live up to my own demands?
Chorus (repeat)
But always, there's another day,
And I'm searching for another way.
I try and hope and wish and pray
One day I won't have to say...
Verse 3
Thick-fingered--
With rocks in my shoes.
Every song is coming out 'Je m'accuse'.
Fightin' with myself, you know that I'll lose.
Now I'm showing everybody my bruise
Chorus
But always, there's another day,
And I'm searching for another way.
I try and hope and wish and pray
One day I won't have to say...
Thick-fingered
