Dashboard Confessional - The End Of An Anchor

I was away for a while
But I'm hoping someday you'll forgive me
But I don't deserve it

I'll cherish it well if you give me
One of your new starts
Just one more last chance
I swear that I'll earn it
If you front me for now

I'm good for it I swear
I'm better now I swear

In earlier days, they'd persecute people
They'd carry them off and hobble their legs
For lesser offences, than how I have harmed you
But still you allow me, to walk free of pain
Though I punish myself, I will never settle
The debts I've incurred, for scorning the face
Of absolute beauty and measureless grace
And though I once mocked you
I'm dying to pay for it now, I'm dying to pay for it now So hand me the rocks, to help weigh me down
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound to the end of an anchor
Thrown in to the sound and test me to see
If I will rise against the worst that it can get

I wasn't well for a while, I savor the things that I knew
Were sure to destroy me and that seemed to hold me
That seemed to carry me where I couldn't go
On the strength of my own, but I should've known
That that gets me nowhere, I've learned that now I swear

I earlier days, they'd persecute people
They'd carry them off and hobble their legs
For lesser offences, than how I have harmed you
But still you allow me, to walk free of pain
Though I punish myself, I will never settle
The debts I've incurred, for scorning the face
Of absolute beauty and measureless grace
And though I once mocked you
I'm dying to pay for it now, I'm dying to pay for it now, now now

So hand me the rocks, to help weigh me down
And tether my legs with a cord tightly bound, to the end of an anchor
Thrown in to the sound and test me to see
If I will rise against the worst that it can get

Well I wasn't sure that I could
Well I wasn't sure that I could
Well I wasn't sure that I could
But I can
