THERE ARE THINGS THAT I COULD SAY

Couldn't tell you at what point I

Figured I'd be better

Wearing hats and shoes

That belong to you

For all the lice and itchy feet

Those parodies have given me

At least I now know my own body

Daydreaming who I'll be next time I'm

Wandering

There are things that I could say

To melt the world

And break your brain and heart

So I don't know why I'm afraid to speak

Or cause alarm

You deserve the kind of love that

Isn't said in words at all so

Get off of a planet if you

Can't even breathe

Everybody in this place is

Dressed up like the person to their left

And why is that

Oh why is that

Katie's got a beauty mark that

Makes the right one hold their heart but she's

Covered it all up to look like Esther

Pretty as a silver painted aster

There are things that I could say

To melt the world

And break your brain and heart

So I don't know why I'm afraid to speak

Or cause alarm

You deserve the kind of love that

Isn't said in words at all so

Get off of a planet if you

Can't even breathe

Time is wasted as another

Most people avoid really seeing each other

Anyway

The truth is all that matters

And you can't convince the rock to flower

Patience is not a virtue if the pears are ripe

They're falling into your hands

On a winter night

There's nothing that I could say

Better than you might

There's nothing that I could say

Better than you might
