lyrics

Please scratch.
The back of my brain's got an itch.
Remind me again, it's getting better.

I work. I go to school. I play.
I read books and I know things.
It hardly matters.

I remember when I was little,
sitting on the side door steps wondering and wishing
and I was worried.
My chin slumped and I hummed out loud a song about a horse.
I twanged the guitar parts with my tongue and I waited on those steps forever.
I waited forever.
To this day, when I hear that song, I feel so alone.
But I remember how good I felt when I finally saw your face.
Your face finally. And forever didn't seem so long after all.

I wonder how—or if at all—a tree feels
The wrinkled bark apparent and wise
speaks to me when I touch it.
And underneath, hidden and dark,
tender root footings blink at an earth age
and dance to my drum beat footfalls.
Could it land, I would have my soul visit a place in a tree
to finally grow slow and wonder how—or if at all—a human feels.

Please scratch.
The back of my brain's got an itch.
Remind me again, it's getting better.

I work. I go to school. I play.
I read books and I know things.
It hardly matters.
