The Start

Saw it all from the start, saw it all from the start, saw it all from the start
I paid a woman to listen
To climb in and patch my wires
I want to be brave without anger or fear
And stop giving up my secrets
Like —
I don’t need to shout at cars
The cars don’t understand
This paperback needs a spine
The dead are not impressed

But I still know how to love you
I still know how to love you
I know where to find your hand
The lines were always written
Loud is the way you laugh when you drink red wine

You saw it all from the start
You saw it all from the start
You saw it all from the start
