lyrics

I didn’t hear myself say anything
As you watched me contorting
Revoking my posture for the fears you were extorting

Do you need a glass of anything?
My water turned to wine
The dance was barely underway
But already it’s wasted time

Tell me with your body how you really feel
And I won’t say another word
Feeling you in gesture makes it so surreal
But I’ve never felt so heard

Tell me with your body how you really feel
And I won’t say another word
Feeling you in gesture makes it so surreal
But I’ve never felt so heard

I can only stretch a word so far
And I think I’m at the end
You’ve got the needle, I the thread
We can make amends

Did I check to see if you were out,
Or go on straight to bed?
The care I do it makes no sense
When it’s only in my head

Tell me with your body how you really feel
And I won’t say another word
Feeling you in gesture makes it so surreal
But I’ve never felt so heard

Tell me with your body how you really feel
And I won’t say another word
Feeling you in gesture makes it so surreal
But I’ve never felt so heard

Wasting my breath
Only to say
Something different
How I show myself
Wasting my breath
