Merlot on your skirt
Oh, did it hurt
When your name was tarnished
Such a silly thing
So, did it sting
When you lost your varnish
Somewhere on your way
To here today
You stopped being perfect
Wait, don't get upset
You're not done yet
And that choice was worth it
Got no hangups to hold you anymore
So live your life the way you like
You've left the building and you didn't use the door
Tell hanging back to take a hike
Now you're on your own
But not alone
'Cause you're not the only
One in the same boat
Keeping afloat
And it's hardly lonely
Merlot on your skirt
Oh, did it hurt
When your name was tarnished
Such a silly thing
So, did it sting
When you lost your varnish
Those expectations can't control you now
You've fallen down and gotten out
That ten-ton legacy can take its final bow
Now you know you can go without
Got no hangups to hold you anymore
So live your life the way you like
You've left the building and you didn't use the door
Tell hanging back to take a hike
You've only lost your sense of boundaries
No need to take a different track
But it's not hard to sleep this soundly
Now's not the time for turning back
Got no hangups to hold you anymore
So live your life the way you like
You've left the building and you didn't use the door
Tell hanging back to take a hike
