lyrics

I’ve been thinking about paragraphs
All that prose so well-contained
And when I do it almost makes me laugh
Move the pilcrow down the page
I need room to set the stage

I’m out here ringing like a doorbell chime
You pretend to know my name
Am I a friend from some forgotten time
I never learned quite how to say
All I want in one refrain

I should try to be more organized
And make my thesis clearly framed
The word prolific isn’t always kind
Move the pilcrow down the page
I need room to set the stage

I still remember when I crossed that line
I didn’t see till much too late
I play it over endless in my mind
I never learned quite how to say
All I want in one refrain

If you must leave me, leave me speechless
If you must let me down let me decide from how high
If we can change our minds why not make some improvements?
Or have we really never tried?

I spilled over like a dark red wine
And hoped I'd leave you with a stain
But you replaced the carpet in no time
I never learned quite how to say
All I want
