SOUNDTRACK: I’d Give You the World if It Meant It Might Swallow Me Whole by Sleep Outside
Soundtrack to The First and Last Adventure of Kit Sawyer by S.E. Harmon
I’d Give You the World if It Meant It Might Swallow Me Whole by Sleep Outside for a book about a man shucking off decades of restraint, going off to see the world, and embracing the adventure of his life.
I’ve spent a quarter of a century,
Hiding from whoever I want to be
Baring a weight that no one sees,
Maybe it’s time to come cleanWhen you told me I could be anything,
Is this what you had in mind?
A senseless child with no sense of direction,
Trying and failing to make true connection with anythingI’d give you the world if it meant it might swallow me whole
