lyrics

(eleven years)

Second desk, third row, nobody asks your view
You watch a stick and you count and you do not speak
Eleven years of that and it gets into the hands
And then you join a band and everybody talks

Eleven years (eleven years)
Of not speaking, eleven years
It is not shyness, eleven years
Eleven years

Eleven years, eleven years, eleven years, eleven years
An orchestra teaches you that the loudest is not the leader
Eleven years, eleven years, eleven years, eleven years
And I have never once had to raise my voice since

The producer thought I was miserable for eleven months.
He asked me in June if I wanted out of the project.
I have never been happier. I just do not narrate it.
(BAND RETURNS, ENORMOUS)

Eleven years, eleven years, eleven years, eleven years
An orchestra teaches you that the loudest is not the leader
Eleven years, eleven years, eleven years, eleven years
And I have never once had to raise my voice since

(eleven years...)
