lyrics
There is a version of me that reads contracts for a living Who has never once said a sentence she has not checked And she is not in this room and I do not know where she went And I am on the phone at 2am like a teenager And I would do it in front of people I would do it in front of my mother I would do it in front of the people I work with I would embarrass myself, I would embarrass myself Say the word and watch me lose every ounce of it I would embarrass myself, I would embarrass myself Thirty-six years of composure and you can have all of it I want your hands. I want to say that plainly, once. I have written it down eleven times and deleted it eleven times. My mother had a folder from week one. I have a drawer with a letter in it and no plan at all. I have never in my life been this badly organised and I am so happy. I would embarrass myself, I would embarrass myself Say the word and watch me lose every ounce of it I would embarrass myself, I would embarrass myself Thirty-six years of composure and you can have all of it (all of it)
