lyrics

i can’t help
but think that the way we say
there are no hidden messages
it’s a necessary fiction

i know that
the story of what is here
is largely still in transit & we wouldn’t want to sing it away

but i don’t know if you know
& you don’t know if i know
so any hidden messages are often already obsolete

put this poem
in the back of your mind & heart
& when the credits run, you can remember in tongue & cheek

why’s it seem
i’m always singing to you
this song is probably about him
it’s a necessary fiction
