Of the hundreds of ways I thought I could say Thank you for existing You just what I've been missing I chose to give you this It's a little bit of nothing But it's really more like something Unique I think This is all the love I can give Since the expressive is repressive I'll stick to the suggestive or easily digested If you want to know what I mean When I say my tongue tied it's probably a lie I go on for days or months if I tried But what more would that mean Oh you're my family Oh please understand me When I find it hard to stand Oh you're my family All I'm asking is for one more chance This is the reinvention Of a common thought perception Not completely new hold On to traces of the old You've been ever so forgiving When I'm learning just by living Mistakes Yeah I've made a few In this ever growing book I've been scribbling through Maybe if I slow it down some I'll Stumble onto The point I've been trying to make A life as confused and well used as this room Underneath this dirty laundry And fading perfume This one's for me Oh you're my family Oh please forgive me If this is all I have to give Oh you're my family All I ask is you let me live In this ever growing book I've been scribbling through Maybe if I slow it down some I'll stumble onto The point I've been trying to make A life as confused and well used as this room Underneath this dirty laundry And fading perfume This ones for me
