lyrics

At the bánh mì stand by six,

I asked for that one fix.

Then I said it twice to the man,

Like it lived right in my hand.

Your word sat on my tongue,

Small coin, suddenly spun.

I wrote it on a paper bag,

Folded tight in my lap.

Now it slips out first.

Before my own, it works.

In the blue fan’s hum,

I catch what I’ve become.

Your word

Your word

It comes out first

Your word

Your word

Now it lives in my mouth

On a green bus near Tân Bình,

I watched my reflection grinning.

You texted from a cracked white screen,

And I used your word in between.

At the market by stall nine,

I heard it back in my line.

Like a key in my coat pocket,

Like a match I didn’t want to drop it.

Now it slips out first.

Before my own, it works.

In the blue fan’s hum,

I catch what I’ve become.

Your word

Your word

It comes out first

Your word

Your word

Now it lives in my mouth

At midnight, my phone glows cold.

I type mine, then lose my hold.

Your word stays on my lips,

Sweet and strange in little slips.

Your word

Your word

It comes out first

Your word

Your word

Now it lives in my mouth
