Lyrics Slight Figure Of Speech - The Avett Brothers

Slight Figure Of Speech

They say you gotta lose a couple fights to win
It’s hard to tell from where I’m sitting
They say that this is where the fun begins
Guess it’s time that I was quitting
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now
They said «I hope that you will never change»
I went and cut my hair
They said «Don't take your business to the big town»
I bought us tickets there
A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now
A jet plane and a big idea
I jump over the seat
What Ifs hot on my trail
But they can’t catch me, no A slight figure of speech
I cut my chest wide open
They come and watch us bleed
Is it all like I was hoping now
