lyrics

On Canal, I caught my tongue

At the deli, all noon and sun

You said "mug" for that chipped white cup

Now I say it, and I can't shut up

I hit the sink, warm water raced

Same old plate, same same old place

Your word slipped in, neat and sly

Now it's mine when I say goodbye

I heard it in my mouth last night

By the turnstile, under hard white light

Your little phrase, my brand-new clue

And now it walks around with you

Say it my way

Say it my way

Say it my way

Say it my way

It sits in my teeth

Like a borrowed key

At 7:10, I texted "bet"

Then laughed so hard, I nearly split

On the F train, by the silver pole

Your word rode in and took control

I used to reach for different sounds

Now yours comes first and lands clean down

In my notebook, on the frayed blue page

Your word is wearing my own shape

Say it my way

Say it my way

Say it my way

Say it my way

It sits in my teeth

Like a borrowed key

In the bodega, by the mango pile

I heard myself use it and froze for a while

You left a mark on my daily speech

Right there beside the gum by the peach

Now every corner, every line

Has your word humming through my spine

Say it my way

Say it my way

Say it my way

Say it my way

It sits in my teeth

Like a borrowed key
