lyrics
(eleven months) That the snare was wrong in the second bar and I knew it in April That the room sounded better before we treated it That I have been happier here than anywhere in my life Things I did not say And nobody could have known That when he asked if I wanted out I nearly could not speak Not from anger. From the shock of being read that badly. Eleven years of orchestras teaches you to be furniture Things I did not say And nobody could have known That silence is not neutral, which I have known since I was twelve That it is read as unhappiness by every person who is not me That I have cost people things by being restful to be near Things I did not say And nobody could have known Things I did not say And I am forty-one and starting now (starting now...)
