[Verse 1] I read your face Like a stop sign in the rain Still walk through Muttering the wrong name I stack my words Like chairs on a weak table One joke One lie And everything is unstable [Chorus] I’m just a big heart Noisy brain Learning your language through my pain I trip on every truth I say But I want to be good for you someday I want to be good for you In my clumsy way [Verse 2] I hold your hand Like a kid with stolen matches Too bright Too close Still shocked when something catches I draw maps On the fogged-up car window All arrows home But I still ask you where we go [Chorus] I’m just a big heart Noisy brain Learning your language through my pain I trip on every truth I say But I want to be good for you someday I want to be good for you In my crooked way [Bridge] Each time I hurt you It’s a bell inside my chest Ringing loud Till I flinch and confess Teach me gently Like you’re tying both my shoes (oh) Slow Simple loops So I can walk toward you [Chorus] I’m just a big heart Noisy brain Learning your language through my pain I trip on every truth I say But I want to be good for you someday I want to be good for you If you’ll let me stay I want to be good for you More than I want my way
