Lyrics
Jonathan
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
John, listen up, I'm a wreck
I'm a mess, this is not the effect
Of a loss or a vex, this is you
Hand me the key to your door
Give me one solid week, give me four years
To climb the stairs in pain
John, it's time
Let me be the Moon you shine
Let me be the honest home where you can rest
Your tired mind
You know me new, knew me well
When I was just a girl, only nineteen
Twisted in my head
So don't try and tell me to help
This is not how you help you to know me now
In any way I said
Don't get tired
Honey, I won't keep you long
I was just calling up to find out if you're
Still in town
