about

For spinning around in your kitchen and singing along to the words that move you - and, for myself at 19.

lyrics

You lay your words flat out on the table
And mine are all creased and dog-eared
Repeated, repeated, but never completed
And you’ve had it up to here

Write me over, write me over
I know this draft is rough
Write me over, write me over
Someday, it’ll be enough

Crown me Miss Communication - never gets her point across
And through all this hesitation, what I mean keeps getting lost
In the static - am I erratic, or am I just searching for something to say?
Am I chasing wasted paper, or am I just after something that’s getting away?

Write me over, write me over
I know this draft is rough
Write me over, write me over
Someday, it’ll be enough

To be strong, to be one who won’t buckle
Under all this going double-time
To be strong, to be open, to be fine
To be fine, to be fine
To be fine, fine, fine, fine

I have papercuts on my fingertips
And my shoulders ache from when my wings were clipped
I’m your plane and I’m your bird
I said “I love you” but I’m not sure you heard, I’m not sure you heard
I’m your plane and I’m your bird
I said “I love you” but I’m not sure you heard, I’m not sure you heard

Write me over, write me over
I know this draft is rough
Write me over, write me over
Someday, it’ll be enough

Write me over, write me over
I know this draft is rough
Write me over, write me over
Someday, that’ll be enough
