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)
