歌詞
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 1]
Moving to a place where I had no anchors
Allies, or shared language
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 2]
The leaves of late fall in Arlington
Where I would enter a small house
And listen to other kids tell the truth
They taught me to do the same
New language
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 3]
Sleeping on Arthur's living room floor
Listening to Badmotofinger on repeat
Bus rides to Harvard Square
Trying not to take up space
But being glad there was space for me somewhere
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 4]
Singing "Polaroids" at 3 AM in JFK park with Ethel
Our parents thought we were asleep in our beds
We had never been so awake, so alive
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 5]
Riding bikes from Belmont to Cambridge
We felt like we owned the world in the middle of the night
We did
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 6]
Me and Bo and Mel in the rehearsal space
With no air circulating
So hot that the guitars and drum stool stuck to our bodies
We played anyway
We didn't know to ask for a window
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 7]
Marc's eyes as we laughed about the news
Our co-workers, bands we knew
As we sat on a parking lot curb
And ate avocados from their skins
No shade from the sun, no barriers between us
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 8]
The walk from Boston to Cambridge
The bridge on Mass Ave
The schools along the way
The danger and safety that coexisted at all times
The wind off the water
The sting of the cold air on my face
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 9]
The women on stage, unapologetic and loud
A gift I still borrow from
An image that feels like I dreamed it now
But they were real
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 10]
My own early attempts at expression
Two chords and a melody
Too many words to fit into the phrase
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 11]
The dresses I made us
Because she wanted us to look the same
Play the same, be the same
But we were not the same
And no amount of fabric would make it so
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 12]
How she told me I was too thin, and not thin enough
How to wear my hair, and how to be like her
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 13]
A pale pink wedding gown that I spent months making
Silk dupioni with glass beads in the same color
That spelled out my first name
I made jokes about it being bold
But I might have been afraid of losing myself
I should have been
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 14]
The group of them and how they dressed alike
Acted alike, thought alike
I never fit but I bought the clothing
I never fit but I shaved myself down
And pretended that I did
I hid the story until I forgot it myself
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 15]
The basement of an event hall
Where he backed me against a wall
And told me all the reasons
He would never want to be with a person like me
His spit hitting my face
His insults hitting my guts
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 16]
What it was like to tell our mutual friends
And have no one care
They said I misunderstood
But I understood just fine
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 17]
The studio where I learned
To make the sounds I heard in my head
Late at night, deep in Cambridge
Some rooms are something more
Than the walls they're made of
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 18]
The apartment where I lived
With seven different people over as many years
Two and a half blocks from Ashmont station
Its symmetry, its sanctuary
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 19]
How in that same apartment
He stood in the front hallway
And told me how sad it was
That I had to sell myself to be liked by people he didn't know
People he was jealous of, people who were kinder to me
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 20]
Hearing my name around town
Hearing how bad I was
How they had spun my honesty into negativity
That would happen many more times in my life
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 21]
How I speak that language now, and I always will
Even if I never put it to use again
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 22]
How two things can be true at the same time
How doing your best and living your worst
Can coexist in the same second, same breath
[Refrain]
I wanted to show you
[Verse 23]
The chord with the extra note
The one that rubs, the one that's wrong to some
It's my favorite sound
That's the one I've always wanted to play
The one I've always wanted to be
That's the one that tells the truth
The truth has a rub
[Outro]
Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it?
Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it?
Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it?
