Aphasia - Pinegrove
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 let them loose
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
You came and sent me out
Unfurling in the street
I felt unprecedented confidence in speaking
Stick around I'm thinking
Things'll be alright newly delivered
Won't you live with me tonight?
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
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 and I'll be gone so 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 thinking of
And if one day I won't need it
And one day you won't need it
