[Verse 1] Start with a curve Small little snake on the page Sliding in silence Sitting at the edge of a phrase Soft as a secret Shaped like a question mark’s tail Stubborn and sideways Stays when the other lines fail [Chorus] S S Slipping on my tongue So sharp So sweet So young Silly Serious Same sound Spinning every sentence round S S Scribbled in the margin Starts the storm and starts the sun S S Stays when others run [Verse 2] Spill a few words Suddenly everything shifts Sugar and salt Same start Opposite gifts School Sleep Summer Stories I still can’t confess Somehow they circle Spiraling back to this S [Chorus] S S Slipping on my tongue So sharp So sweet So young Silly Serious Same sound Spinning every sentence round S S Scribbled in the margin Starts the storm and starts the sun S S Stays when others run [Bridge] So many starts So many stops Same small sign On every block Stay for a second Slow it Just breathe See how a single S Says what we mean [Chorus] S S Slipping on my tongue So sharp So sweet So young Silly Serious Same sound Spinning every sentence round S S Scribbled in the margin Starts the storm and starts the sun S S Simple little one
