Everything but the Kitchen Sink

Sit with my hands underneath my legs.
I’ll hold them down there now, I’m staring at you now.
How can we stay everything we’ve been
I’m not so sure now you’re settling me down.

I want you and I to stay here for a while
and I will be surprised and it will be OK
We’ve got heavy things weighing on us now
but it can’t pull us down and we can be OK

Hold my voice much steadier than yours
I’ll be your left hand side much stronger than before
this cannot be a choice that you can make anymore

I want you and I to stay here for a while
and I will be surprised and it will be OK
We’ve got heavy things weighing on us now
but it can’t pull us down and we can be OK

(I never needed the time that you made for me
I never needed your heart, I never needed you to stay
I never needed the words you said to me
I didn’t really believe you that much anyway.)

In the end you’ll find that nothing ever changes
In the end I’m sure we’ll find it’s all the same.
