all-ears

I got a steamin' mind

And my heart won't quit

There it is

on my arm

My sleeve

I mean

I say the wrong things

Jump the gun

But I mean you no harm

It's just that

I'm shy

With my heart on my arm

I mean

My sleeve

 

My hand

you see

It works much better

than my mouth

My hand

Is potentially epic

My mouth is shy

quiet

mostly humble

 

My ears

come of better use

Just cause

My bleeding heart

on my arm

 

I mean

sleeve

Causes my mind

to cause

my mouth

to stumble

 

See, I'm the one

here to listen

 

Pull up a chair

Tell me your tale........

 

.............I'm all ears.............
