You Were Shaking Too Lyrics

I finally had a dream where you made the cast

Where before you were only mentioned by mouth

I visit you at your perfect grad school at last

And I knew it was fake because you said you'd never go

You wanted to skip time

Get a job and a place

And a hairless cat and an ageless face

But I wanted to pause time

And have no name or home

I'd rather just travel and draw and play shows

You're the same when I'm dead

And I'll die not knowing what I want

And you'll ask the same question:

What the hell does she want?

The first time I sang for an audience in High School

I was shaking and praying I wouldn't screw it up

So I imagined I was singing to just my mom and you

And you told me after that you were shaking too

You wanted to skip time

To where I open my mouth

So you weren't so nervous that the show would go south

But I wanted to pause time

And practice once more

By myself in the room with the soundproof door

You're the same when I'm dead

And I'll die not knowing what I want

And you'll ask the same question:

What the hell does she want?

You're the same when I'm dead

And I'll die not knowing what I want

And you'll ask the same question:

What the hell does she want?
