Lyrics

Clean and Discreetly
By Sheena Grobb
use the key i gave you as if your own
a brand new place for us to merge in
i promise soon you’ll look like me from proximity
a taller balder older version
 
you can shower first and i’ll wait my turn
i’ll bear the shock of water that’s cold
you can rest assured that i’ll invade your space
invited until otherwise told
 
and be as it is and how imperfect i am
in light of open wounds that still burn
for all that you accept i’ve wept not knowing it’s earned
and patiently you waited for me to learn
 
at my level i wonder do you have tendencies
to steal back your socks from off my feet
hope you know that i’ll always put them back
and replenish your pile with my own
clean and discreetly
 
and be as it is and how imperfect i am
in light of open wounds that still burn
for all that you accept i’ve wept not knowing it’s earned
and patiently you waited for me to learn
 
rent’s gone up and so have the stakes
bending’s not enough so now we’re folding
i thought it’d be harder my mistake
i never could forget whose heart i’m holding
i never could forget whose heart i’m holding
 
and be as it is and how imperfect i am
in light of open wounds that still burn
for all that you accept i’ve wept not knowing it’s earned
and patiently you waited for me to learn
 
be as it is how imperfect
in light of open wounds that burn
for all that you accept i’ve wept not knowing it’s earned
and patiently you waited for me
and honestly you waited for me
and selflessly you waited for me to learn
