IAN SWEET
Quietly Streaming
It was a weird way
To see the snow
For the first time I had to cover my eyes
Everyone was there
But it made me feel scared
They all had stomach aches
From something they ate
I didn't eat it
I knew I'd be allergic
It was the only way to let you know
I want to see this movie alone
Cause I don't like asking questions to people
Who can't answer them

Whisper singing
Cause I'm sleeping
With your arms around
I'm a table now
1,2,3,4 legs above ground

This could be right
This could be wronger than ever
This could go on forever
This could be all in my head

Inside I am quietly streaming
A still frame of you
Waving at the screen
The things it takes to feel ok
The words you say
From your chest not your mouth or your throat
I got to a place I've never been before
Where my favorite friend is reading
A book in a tent outside the house they grew up in

You're whisper singing
Cause I'm sleeping
With your arms around
I'm a table now
1,2,3,4 legs above ground

This could be right
This could be wronger than ever
This could go on forever
This could be all in my head
