My wife bopped the bass player in my band, RattleTrap.

It's about forgiving a girl, and taking her back.

Lyrics

MAKE IT STICK
Words and music by James Nelson 05/03/06

I BIT MY TONGUE SO MANY TIMES TODAY
THERE ARE CERTAIN WORDS THAT I CAN?T SAY
AND I WISH THAT I WOULD LEARN TO STICK UP FOR MYSELF

THERE?S A HOLE IN THE WALL IN THE SHAPE OF MY FIST
AND DESPITE THE STITCHES THAT?S JUST NOT IT
THERE?S A PART OF ME THAT SHE TOOK AND THAT HURTS THE MOST

IT?S THE UNCERTAINTY ALWAYS SNEAKING UP ON ME
THAT SOMEHOW IT SEEMS FINDS A WAY TO MAKE ME SICK
BUT IT?S THE INVALID NOTION ON THIS INFINITE OCEAN OF DOUBT
THAT I KNOW WILL HELP TO MAKE IT STICK

SHE BIT THE HAND THAT WAS BRINGING HER FOOD
TO TAKE A BITE OF A FRUIT THAT WAS NO GOOD
AND I WISH THAT SHE WOULD LEARN TO STICK UP FOR HERSELF

THERE?S A HOLE IN MY HEART IN THE SHAPE OF THIS THING
AND DESPITE THE HEALING THAT TIME WILL BRING
THERE?S A PART OF ME THAT SHE TOOK THAT I DON?T WANT BACK

IT?S THE UNCERTAINTY ALWAYS SNEAKING UP ON ME
THAT SOMEHOW IT SEEMS FINDS A WAY TO MAKE ME SICK
BUT IT?S THE INVALID NOTION ON THIS INFINITE OCEAN OF DOUBT
THAT I KNOW WILL HELP TO MAKE IT STICK
