Speak to Me

So this wiseacre comes up to me and sez, “Hey!”
I ignore him, naturally. He sez again, louder this time, “Hey, YOU!”
“Whaddyawant?” I sez.
“Hey, your song…” he sez.
“Yeah?” I interrupt, squinting leerily.
“Your song,” he sez, “could be better. I can make it better.”
“Sez WHO?” I sez.
“Well, that was me,” he sez, “I LITERALLY just said: I can make your song better”
“Right. Well...sure buddy, knock yourself out,” I sez. Ha! The nerve of some guyz.
Twenty-four hours later he sendz me his changes. Huh. I got nuthin’ to say about that bum.
EXCEPT…
THANK YOU, David. You’re supernaturally talented, and the sonic boom you strapped to this little tune is amazing.

And thanks to all who took the time to listen to the original version. This one is superficially similar, but...not really the same song at all...

Listen now, I’ve got somethin’ that I have to say
I can say it now, or save it for a rainy day
It’s all jumbled up in my head
Not like the words you had said
I tried to write it down before, but then my fingers bled

Listen now, I know you’re in a hurry to go
I just need a minute or two to let you know
About these thoughts up in my head
Please don’t leave me here for dead
I gotta live my life in colors other than blood red

Speak to me
Cuz I’m havin’ trouble gettin’ this outta my mouth
Speak to me
Cuz I’m simply drownin’ in all of this self-doubt
You can hear me
Tryin’ to say somethin’ more
Random words like
Puzzle pieces on the floor
You can hear me
Singin’ a song half-sung
Just scattered thoughts
Trippin’ over my tongue

Listen now, I guess I’ve fallen in love with you
I can’t say it out loud, and I don’t know what to do
I can maybe write it down instead
Though it might just be misread
But like a fragile sweater, I’m just pullin’ at the thread

Speak to me
Cuz I’m havin’ trouble gettin’ this outta my mouth
Speak to me
Cuz I’m simply drownin’ in all of this self-doubt
You can hear me
Tryin’ to say somethin’ more
Random words like
Puzzle pieces on the floor
You can hear me
Singin’ a song half-sung
Just scattered thoughts
Trippin’ over my tongue

Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me
Speak to me...
