lyrics

I’m summer with you, I’m poetry books
I’m safely inside my confidence
I wanna write something I’ve never written before
I wanna gently bulldoze every floor
Of my heart’s architecture
Moment I met you
Threw out the playbook with Hail Mary mettle
The world is a bleacher
To all that I’m feeling now

Didn’t know I had a language inside of me
But it talks when you walk in

Snow on the roses, you’re juxtaposing
Every line that I drew for myself
And now I walk these worlds like I’m on a mountain
Cliff on my left
And the right has a pounding view to the ocean
I’m in the middle
Told you I was scared just a little
And you’re like a wild card
Kept in my wallet now

Didn’t know I had a language inside of me
But it talks when you walk in

Gold glossolalia
Here when you take the back of my neck
To the tip of my tongue
It is restless in the way that it wanders
Out of my mouth with every shudder
You are the language I have been learning
Here on every page that I’m turning
The world is a bleacher
To all that I’m feeling now

Didn’t know I had a language inside of me
But it talks when you walk in
