The End Of An Anchor Lyrics - Dashboard Confessional

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. 

Photos 

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.
