I Don't Kill Ants

lyrics

At last, I can put it all in the past
Or better yet, I could make myself forget

And I might not mean it, but I always say thanks
And I might be wrong when I fill the blanks
And I pull weeds but I don’t kill ants

So like it or not, I fight the fear
Yeah, like it or not, I’m here, I’m here,
Knee deep in the muddy banks
I pull weeds but I don’t kill ants

Come here, it’s been a rough old year
Settle in, to the place where you and I begin

And I might not mean it, but I always say thanks
And I might be wrong when I fill the blanks
And I pull weeds but I don’t kill ants

So like it or not, I fight the fear
Yeah, like it or not, I’m here, I’m here,
Knee deep in the muddy banks
I pull weeds but I don’t kill ants

Us two, we got some catching up to do
Better yet, let’s stay and watch the whole world set

I think you mean it when you say please
We’re not quite there but we’re planting seeds
And you never kill ants when you pull weeds

So like it or not, you’re pulling through
Yeah, like it or not, love, I am too
Knee deep in the muddy banks
Pulling weeds with cautious hands

And I might not mean it, but I always say thanks
And I might be wrong when I fill the blanks
And I pull weeds but I don’t kill ants

So like it or not, I fight the fear
Yeah, like it or not, I’m here, I’m here,
Knee deep in the muddy banks
I pull weeds but I don’t kill ants

I pull weeds but I don’t kill ants
I pull weeds but I don’t kill ants.
