I'm hard to understand, I know
It's never been easy for anyone
I'm hard to talk to, I know
Sometimes I can't even talk to myself.

The moment I think I've got myself figured out
You dig up something else
Something I didn't know about
Something hard to grasp.

But it's good, it's great
I'm learning new things
New character traits
About me.

And I'm a metamorphosis
Before your eyes
But it's  a constant rolling wave
So you understand.

At least I hope you understand
And I'm really trying to make it easy
As easy as I can make it
Which really isn't easy at all.

But I'm sure you'll figure it out
In due time
Cause I'm really not that complicated
You just have to learn my rhyme.

Cause you can know all the words in my box
But not know the order
And if you don't know the order
How can you really figure me out?

And you can know all the words in my box
But not be able to spell a single one
And if you can't spell them
How can you really spell me out?

But this is so new, so fresh
I'm not really all that worried
In fact I won't be surprised
If you never get the words straight.
If you never get the spelling correct.

And it might be exciting
Keep things alive
And probably a little frustrating
Over time.

But it'll be okay if you never figure me out
You won't get bored, I promise
I'm the only one that's got me even a little figured out
And still I mostly don't make sense.

But it's not about making sense, is it?
It's more like just a feeling
Who really needs words in this universe,
When we have our bodies to speak with?

Cause even when I know you're confused
Or even when I've confused myself
I hold you close
Take a deep, deep, breath
And let my body do all the talking.

If you ever figure me out
You'll have to tell me your secret
Cause I'm still confused
About myself.
