I saw the dotted line
then I was passed without hesitation
I wish their cars were mine
For I was full of spite and admiration
How could I be alright
when I'm passed by like I don't exist?
My self-esteem along for the ride
It's a drive I'll never miss

I'm so afraid of the dotted line
Because I don't want to make a mistake this time
but at the same time I don't want to be told
how things should be done, man this feeling is too old

I saw the dotted line
but I was afraid to cut so I folded
thinking things could still be fine
But I ruined it all and was soundly scolded
How could I be ok
after always trusting the safe way out?
so so wrong so much each day
Don't take my scissors, just my doubt

I'm so afraid of the dotted line
Because I don't want to make a mistake this time
But at the same time I don't want to be told
how things should be done, man this feeling is too old
The Dotted Line
