The Only Part

Lyrics: Shawn Yang Music: Shawn Yang Arranger: Shawn Yang Bare feet pressed against the cold linoleum Thinking about how much I hated my own voice today Smiling at people whodon't even know my middle name I’ m finally off the clock Just the buzz of the fridge and this heavy air Finally, finally Ididn't turn the overhead light on The blue from the street lamp is enough to see the mess I made This is the only part of the day I actually own No one needs a version of me right now Nobody needs me Just me and these thoughts thatdon't have to go anywhere It’ s quiet enough to hear myself lie Hear myself lie I’ m looking at the yard through the screen door The sprinklers just kicked in and it smells like wet dirt I should probably go to bed but I’ m scared of the morning That first second when I have to be the man they expect I checked the mail and left it on the counter Probably just bills I’ m not gonna open yet It’ s whatever though I’ m just sitting here with the cricket under the porch Under the porch This is the only part of the day I actually own No one needs a version of me right now Nobody needs me Just me and these thoughts thatdon't have to go anywhere It’ s quiet enough to hear myself lie Hear myself lie Just let it sit Don't wake up yet I'm good right here on the floor Yeah Peace is just staying still Staying still Don't ask me for anything Not tonight Not tonight
