Things You Say

Sleater-Kinney

you got your words

but they make you stuck

now you can't feel

now you can't want

it's just too messy

it's just too think

is it too scary

is it too real



it is one desire

burning hot and bright

it could fill the sky

it could fill me up

worth the trouble

worth the pain

it is brave to feel

it is brave to be alive



you write it down

you strategize

never go over

your little lines



but i'll breathe the air

i'll sotp the clock

i'll touch the sky

and say what i want
