Answering Machine
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.
I met a new one and she looks just like you
She gives me everything that you didn't want to
And maybe I don't need saving after all
She sticks in my ribs almost better than you did
And maybe I'm tired or maybe she glows
I wonder if you're still defending
I wonder if you're still defending
Met someone with your eyes and skin
I can convince her of everything
And baby, it's so delicious you should
Come here and see for yourself
"I'm gone", you said, "if this is all there is…
You'll never shine alone
And I wonder if you're still defending
I wonder if you're still defending
You've been so wrong
For so long now
(I can fall alone if all
if I can fall away)
I've kissed others lips
And they promised me healing
It's easy if you try
