like the memory from your mother’s house from before you got too old like the feeling from a photograph before it’s meanings all got told the words I say can be silver, but what’s left unsaid can be gold so get to know me once I go away
maybe ‘cause I come from such an empty-hearted town or maybe ‘cause some love of mine had really let me down but the only time I am lonely is when others are around I just never end up knowing what to say
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I’d find myself a maid if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn’t need to get paid if I wanted someone to understand me, I’d have so much more to say I want you to make the days move easy
I took everything I thought from what it means to be a man we need words to be put to what we do not understand while you lean into the echoes and you do not raise a hand oh woman, help me see it like it is
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I’d find myself a maid if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn’t need to get paid if I wanted someone to understand me, I’d have so much more to say I want you to make the days move easy
if I wanted someone to clean me up, I’d find myself a maid if I wanted someone to spend my money, I wouldn’t need to get paid if I wanted someone to cut me down, I’d have handed you the blade I want you to make the days move easy I just want you to make the days move easy
