lyrics

you want me to hear songbirds-
you want me to echo them back to you.
and, instead.
i hear crickets.
and I tell you i'm not ready.
It's not that i'm not ready to love you
or that I'm not ready to be loved by you
...It's just that.
i wonder what loving me, says about you.
i'm afraid that you've mistaken the unfurling of bodies and the entanglement of sheets for something far bigger than us.

i'm afraid that you are unprepared for the storm our love may bring.
i myself haven't manned my sails.

i'm sure we can sort this out.
This isn't The Tower of Babel.
...not right here.
Not right now.

please.

it's kind of like the birthday dessert we weren't expecting.
we're grateful.
we take it in.

and yet it sits unfinished.
much like this conversation.

Unfinished.




the waiter's not going to clean up this mess. It's not his job to do so anyway.
