Getting Stronger from Marginal Street by Myles Cochran

GETTING STRONGER
I'm wrapped up but I'm waiting to unwind
Yes, patience is a virtue but who's got time
But understand I'm more than half a man
It's just that I'm not whole yet but

I'm getting stronger
I'm getting stronger every day
I've got an itch that I can't scratch
A bird that I can't catch
And I want you to tell me
Everything you left behind

Here's my book: it was written from the heart
And all those empty chapters, well they're just a start
But there's a catch: a joke on every page
And I'm so tired of laughing but

I'm getting stronger
I'm getting stronger every day
I've got a fish and it won't bite
A match and it won't light
And I want you to tell me
Everything you left behind

All this time I was waiting for the gun
But I took a look around and I'm not the only one
So who's to say the winner wins the race
I am running to you and

I'm getting stronger
I'm getting stronger every day
I've got a car but it won't start
A dog but she won't bark
And I want you to tell me
Everything you left behind
