Lyrics
The Exploding Boy
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 couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
And I couldn't look back
Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen
Not this way
Not today
