Tell me what to say
You always had a way with words
And maybe afterwards
Teach me to believe them

Let me figure out
How to use my mouth for good
To be understood
And maybe finally reach them
Or not

There’s this thing you do
I can’t get into it now
But that’s how I knew you could
Help me understand myself
Long enough to try to help
Someone, who knows?

Tell me how it goes
You always seem to know the words
And maybe afterwards
Teach me to believe them
Until I can repeat them

Forwards and backwards
