Loose Change (No Yeah-yeahs) (Live) Andrew Peterson

I'd give you all of me to know what you were thinking
And if I had one wish I'd wish I wasn't sinking here
Drowning in this well, oh can't you tell?

That I can't pick myself up off the ground
Well I've been face down and pushed aside
Well you know I'd rather just turn tail and run
Than lie here in the sun and watch you pass me by
Cause I ain't worth a dime

But If only I could stand up straight, I wouldn't have to lie and wait
I could up and roll away, and never be ignored
I've got a feeling that I'm something more
Than just a piece of copper ore, turning green and looking for
The reason I was born

Well I've been around since 1974, in banks and bottom drawers
And on railroad ties. I've been passed around and cast aside
And skipped and flipped and flattened wide, spun around
And thrown away and left alone to lie

But if only I could stand up straight, I wouldn't have to lie and wait
I could up and roll away, and never be ignored
I've got a feeling that I'm something more
Than just a piece of copper ore, turning green and looking for
The reason I was born, yeah yeah
