Aphasia

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

So complicated, I can't wait to get explaining

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

[Verse 3]

You came and sent me out unfurling in the street

I felt unprecedented confidence in speaking

Just stick around, I'm thinking things'll be alright

Newly delivered, won't you live with me tonight?

[Verse 4]

Something tonight was such a let down 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 myself

I'd wake the next and see my silence went unfelt

[Verse 5]

Just 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

[Verse 6]

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

[Bridge]

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

And one day you won't need it
