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.
There's no need to fear me
Darling, I love you as you are when you're alone
I'll never try to change you
As if I could, and if I were to, what's the part that I'd miss most?
When you're smiling and astride me
I can hardly believe I've found you and I'm terrified by that
I've got nothing to hide from you
Kissing my brother in my dreams or finding God knows in my jeans
You see me as I am, it's true
Aimless, fake drifter, and the horny manchild momma's boy to boot
That's how you live free
Truly see and be seen
