what a way to find my way to
your house at a time like this
I can't believe how much I've missed this
I am halved and in some ways I'm less than
but this could be just the thing
to get me back out on my feet
but who's to say?
what a way to live on top or inside of a stack
what a way to hold you close instead of leaving slack
I know it may not seem like we're on track
take it how you want to I am back
xenoglossy words fall out of me
I'm tearing up the floor
I'm trying to find something much more than I usually
do you see what I hear? I fear I swear I called your name
at least I thought it might have been
but who's to say?
tell me all about it on the way home in your car
tell me about your favorite king or queen or sun or star
I know it may not seem like we're that far
it's just something that you know you have you are
the way it felt to lay beside you just before you woke
the way it felt to tear away the inedible choke
I know it may have seemed like I misspoke
tear away the inedible choke
