One Final, Sandi

Bear Quartet · Everybody Else [1995]

woke up laughing

in the middle of the night

and it scared me

to feel so completely shut out

and always next to alright

and always next to daylight



so please let me remember it wrong

'cause it's been so long

since someone held me

as if to save me

from myself and everybody else



and all the words that went from mouth to mouth

did they ever strike beauty

stored in apartments

filled with old doubts

can you reach me,

the loving parts of me



can you please let me remember it wrong

'cause the truth is too

strong it's something I never told

anyone but the one I couldn't hold
