lyrics

Thank you baby, for loving me,
in spite of myself.
I've always wanted to be something better
than I am.
And I do what I can.
I want to thank you baby, for loving me,
In spite of yourself.
It's hard to be something other than
What you are. And we all have our scars.
I want to thank you baby, seriously,
For what is life without thanks?
For just holding onto me, while I hold onto myself,
A pearl and an egg. A shell and a tug.
I don't understand this drum solo that starts
Like an overfed ostrich in my octagonal heart.
I've got my guesses, but I guess I keep them to myself,
Because I'm selfish and full of
Contradictions. Which comes across like
I'm all "complicated," quote, unquote…
I just wanted to thank you, forget everything else.
I'm trying to change.
So, thank you.
Life is weird, baby, and hard to explain,
Or even comprehend. I just want to thank you
For being my friend. It's a great thing
And I'm so happy about it.

In the end, a set of sounds collect themselves into different shapes one might call "albums." Some sound like this and some sound like that. ... more
