So satisfied,
I said a lot of things tonight.
So long aphasia
and the ways it kept me hiding.It's not so much exactly all the words I used—
it's more that I was somehow down to let them loose.So complicated,
I can't wait to get explainin'.
Your listening distended out since I've been crying.So long aphasia
and the ways it kept me hidden
So long to silent nerves
and hesitant oblivion.You came and sent me out unfurling in the street—
And I felt unprecidented confidence in speaking.
Stick around
I'm thinking things'll be alright
Newly delivered,
won't you live with me tonight?Something tonight
was such a letdown on my pride
It takes a part of me I don't got to take some things in stride.I'd pace around the place, so quiet in myselfI'd wake the next and see my silence went unfeltJust when I thought I had this pattern sorted out,
apparently my ventricles are full of doubt, now—Nah, things go wrong sometimes,
don't let it freak you out
But if I don't have you by me
then I'll go underground!Nah, but what you've got
was in your reaches all along.
Plus one day you'll be reaching
for me and I'll be gone,
so to help remind myself
I wrote this little song.One day I won't need your love.
One day I won't define myself by the one I'm thinking of,
and if one day I won't need it,
then one day you won't need it.
