Woman I Was

by Katie Pederson

/

lyrics

There’s a fork in the landing
And I’m lookin up
Back and forth about leaving
Feeling stuck
What it felt like to know my
Self enough to trust
When it’s right to stay hungry
And when to hang it up

Hear her voice in a daydream
22
held back by nothing
ignorance of Youth
Oh what I’d give
If I could live
For a second in her shoes
See the world the way she did
Rather, how I used to

From where I am and where I wanna be
Are rose colored petals on each stair behind me
Dots in a line, Smoke from a fire
Traces of who she’s been
The woman I was back then

Took the dead end, the detour,
The long way around
If she knew i think she’d still
step off of the ground
And I know I should at least try
To put my best foot forward
If I can’t do it for me, then I’ll do it for her

From where I am and where I used to be
Are rose colored petals on each stair behind me
Dots in a line
Smoke from a fire
Traces of who she’s been
I owe everything that I am
To the woman I was back then

From where I am and where I wanna be
Are rose colored petals on each stair behind me
Dots in a line
Smoke from a fire
Traces of who she’s been
The woman I was back then

From where I am and where I used to be
Are rose colored petals on each stair behind me
Dots in a line
Smoke from a fire
Traces of who she’s been
I owe everything that I am
To the woman I was back then
