lyrics

you couldn't be a friendlier keeper
who is sought and who is the seeker?
I'm caught like a fish who knows better
I want to be trapped by you
I'll learn to be your partner
I'll burn a little hotter
I have an ace up my sleeve
I'll play it when I'm good and ready

there is still some room to breathe
in the warp and the weft that lets us give and receive
still, sometimes, aloneness fuels me in my body
I don't know if I like myself without it

it's all out on the table
so let's put our feet up when we're able
It's hard to feel good these days
but you keep me trying
to be the best I can be
to be a wheel that is turning
I've made a lot of mistakes but...
I'm learning

there is still some room to breathe
In the warp and the weft that lets us give and receive
still, sometimes, aloneness fuels me in my body
I don't know if I like myself without it
there is still some room to breathe
in the warp and the weft that lets us give and receive
still, sometimes, aloneness fuels me
sometimes, aloneness fuels me in my body
I don't like myself without it
