lyrics

oh god!
this one's getting old now, isn't it? isn't it
but you hear me out like it's the first time
it's a small thing but it is kind

well-

the unfinished sentences and never-ending ellipses
catch in the pocket of my mouth, stretch out until the air is empty conjecture
and the gestures, i- i-
the next time i swear! the next time i swear

a year later's just the same
though now i'm talking to a screen, dreamin' of
punctual rain, hurricane and home-coming--forth
with the words i need- smack, bubble, crack-
what's a better way to say, "will you take me--
uh, wait, no, i'm sorry"

say it right, one, revise and
say it right, two, revise and
say it right, three, i'm trying to
let you know it's still the same for me

say it right, one, revise and
say it right, two, revise and
say it right, three, i'm fine! no, it's nothing, never mind!

how long til
i am uttering my stutter away?
polishing my stance til the face-flush impertenance gives way?

funny how thinking about it seemed sacrilegious
the mistake that made me love myself
and all the little things that changed with each year between us
though the fissues and the faults of my own have grown over, jagged and jarred,

you were, you are, by far
