what if i told you
i had it all figured out?
we could get it working, m'dear

you tell me you'll find someone better,
someone who understands you more than i ever did
but what if i told you
i had it all figured out?

maybe you can tell i haven't slept in days
with every line and shadow mapped out on my face
ah, you know i've never slept well anyway

but if i think too hard
about the times you would lay with your head in my lap
as i cartographed the tangles in your hair

and if i think too hard
about the loose threads feathering off the sleeve of your sweater
and the way they tickled my cheek--
oh, god.

so what if i told you
i had it all figured out?
when maybe, m'dear
i just like how that sounds
