Empty Handed Lyrics
Michelle hints that she is entering a new stage of life, leaving behind her past. She feels that she has a duty to herself to take advantage of opportunities. She recognizes that others may be stuck in the same situation but trying to help others would only make her drown more. To this, she tries to make others aware. “You feel the water but do you swim?”
I think it’s very much about acknowledging that she may be stuck in a certain situation or place and the only way out is forward.

hmm i think these songs aretoo new for having lyrics posted, cus im very sure in the last couple ive looked at that she says something else, like i this song , the lyrics above say "There's a prison with a window It's the light begin " im pretty sure se says "lets the light leak in"
and its prism by the window
and the beginning is if youre losing sleep forgive me
ok its just wrong
the new cds clear though for editing these lyrics
"And it's only me empty handed With a childish grin and a camera"
as opposed to "like a scaralige grave"...that's definitely incorrect.
I love the scat singing towards the end. Her music is so soothing.
Yeah, who ever is putting all the Michelle Branch lyrics up has messed up every single one I've looked at so far. I'm sick of correcting them tho. Anyways. Like I've said in all the other songs I've commented on, I relate to this song with my ex boyfriend. People kept talking all this shit about me, people that didnt even know me. People really do only hear what they want to hear, which makes them mistake me like most people. But yeah, I was sick of getting hurt by my ex so I decided that we were officially done ("I'm packing my bags cuz I dont wanna be, the only one who's drowning in their misery") And then I think the part about "you feel the water, but do you swim?" I think thats all about taking chances. Like, if you leave now, you wont be able to turn back and start over even if you really regret it. So its just kinda like should you stay or should you go? Yeah, well just another great Michelle Branch song. Someone really needs to fix all the lyrics.
good song i love it..it has good meaning-Erica
Is there anyway to replace these lyrics with the real ones?
Michelle says in an interview that this is her favorite one of her songs.
Like the scaralige grave ? With a childish grin and a camera.
