Where I Began

The grass looked greener on the other side
 So I tried to, snatch myself from your hand
 Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh
 And, well you know, I got spit back on dry land.
 Verse 1:
 Give me purity and give me continence
 But oh no, not yet.
 Like a coin hiding in the corner
 Trying not to be swept
 And I was trying not to be swept.
 Kicking against these goads
 Sure did cut up my feet
 And didn't your hands get bloody
 As you washed them clean (you washed them!),
 Chorus:
 Here I am again, back where I began
 Try as I may I can't get away from you
 And all of these roads lead me to roam,
 Bring me back home.
 Here I am again, back where I began.
 Verse 2:
 So you have yourself your ninety nine (ninety nine),
 Isn't that enough for you?
 Still you followed me to the shadowed valley
 Carried me on your shoulders too.
 I've done the work of Sisyphus
 Thinking that I could get over this hill
 But the one thing I can't get over now...(is the)
 Is the force of your will.
 Chorus x2
