Most of these words will be imperfect
It’s okay because you are worth it
I’ve been making mountains out of my moments
They’re still clinging to what I’ve told them is true
Maybe I’m lying
I’m just a piece of a piece of a piece of someone
Piece me together
Objectify me so I don’t have to be subject to my shames
I am getting strong so I can knock some sense into myself when I meet her

I don’t care
If I go nowhere
I am loved
When I am ugly
Brick by brick
Buildings wear their dresses
This will last
Our love lives in the choir
If I could make wonder music
It would be something like this
But you can convince yourself of a lot
But it does not mean a lot will happen

Walk into my room
See the mirror smirk
I want to be enough for me
I want to be enough for me
I don’t know why (I don’t know why)
I don’t know why (I don’t know why)
I don’t know

John, John, John
You’re doing it wrong
It’s a phenomenon
My words usually ruin the song
Maybe that’s just my head yelling down to my heart
You tell me to have fun on the lake but I’m just trying to stay awake
On this today
I’m right where I need to be
Maybe tomorrow, I’ll see what I need to see
We have yesterdays, more than we can count
Take a walk
Look around
It’s okay to try again tomorrow
On this today
I’ll love myself more ruthlessly
Try to show myself more true true true true truefully
Most of the time I get too scared
Most of the time I get too scared
Some of the time I’ll get there
I’m right where I need to be

We’re really really really really really really really really quiet
Cause it’s the thought that counts
I tell her on a Monday I’m afraid to be vulnerable
(But you’re so wonderful)
Play me a song
What’s on your mind?
I’m trying to face my silhouette
Let’s go for a long drive
On Tuesday we drive to the lake in a storm
Eat sandwiches in the car
Wednesday you’re working and I take a bath
Thursday we’re thinking and share a laugh

One of those days where the hours
Might get the best of me (x2)
The plants in the shower
Using up all the hot water
I make two pots of coffee
Just for something to do
I’ve been wearing a bra
It makes me feel important
You ever file your nails so much you get audited?
Lighting candles makes me feel incandescent
Just trying to be warm
Listening to Chopin while i walk
Everyone’s out shopping
No time to talk
Listening to Sondheim while it snows
Saw a man pouring his agony on the ground

I used to always be on time
Now I just sit around until I lose my mind
I miss the way I used to be
But I’m okay with the memory
You told me time was like a storm
A rumbling sound, a truth that’s found in what’s reborn
The wat’ry minutes soak me through
Forgot my jacket, running late, how true

What do I say to myself?
When I realize there’s no one else?
You don’t know what is to come
But come what may you will get up today
How do I know when to stop?
What if the wheel doesn’t turn?
Keep forgetting to turn on my lights when i drive at night
I do not want to be seen
You don’t know which way to go
But go somewhere you will be seen at last

Stuck in a petting zoo
“What is the worst i’d do?”
Keep the past in the past, they say
But someone always stops me along the way
Sometimes, I can be wrong
Sometimes, I can be wrong
Don’t give up hope just yet
Your weekend starts today
I’ll see you on my/your walk
These days, they are ours
Time is all that we got
If you use it or not

Seems we have different luck in the same city
And I prefer it that way
Hope you’re feeling better
I hope you’re feeling full
All of my belongings belong to someone else
All of my belongings belong to someone else
To long for a short ride
Too long for a blank cd
My mouth is not big enough to hold my breath
My mouth is not big enough to hold my breath
There are some things I’ll never forget
And I prefer it that way
