Aphasia

Lyrics

so satisfied i said a lot of things tonight 
so long aphasia & 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 

so complicated i cant wait to get explaining 
your listening distended out since i've been crying 
so long aphasia & the ways it kept me hidden 
so long to silent nerves & hesitant oblivion 

you came & sent me out unfurling in the street 
& i felt unprecedented confidence in speaking 

stick around im thinking things'll be alright 
newly delivered wont you live with me tonight 

something tonight was such a letdown 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 
id wake the next & see my silence went unfelt 

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! 
nah but what you've got was in your reaches all along 
plus one day you'll be reaching for me & i'll be gone 
to help remind myself I wrote this little song 

one day i won't need your love 
one day i won't define myself by the one i'm thinkin of 
& if one day i won't need it 
one day you won't need it
