You tell me You don’t like changing In the locker room And pull your sleeves down And I think There’s more under Your clothes Then skin You tell me You find a "Don’t jump" self help book On your Mom’s bedside table And you don’t say anything else About it But I hope you Don’t jump either You laugh And say You hate soup So you don’t eat anything instead And I think I know something You hate more than soup You bite your lip And tell me I look nice And I hope you know I like you too

Quiet Things People Tell Me
You tell me You don’t like changing In the locker room And pull your sleeves down And I think There’s more under Your clothes Then skin You tell me You find a "Don’t jump" self help book On your Mom’s bedside table And you don’t say anything else About it But I hope you Don’t jump either You laugh And say You hate soup So you don’t eat anything instead And I think I know something You hate more than soup You bite your lip And tell me I look nice And I hope you know I like you too
