Ur the Shhh - Amel Larrieux

There are some things that beg

To be said without subtlety

Gone are my normal charms

You disarm the poet in me

And a rapturous wave

Travels through me

Sending all my good sense south

I begin to behave

Like a star struck groupie

And the words escape my mouth

You’re the shhhh

I been over it

Never seen another like you in my life

You’re the shhhhh

I been over it

And I wouldn’t swear if I wasn’t right

The other adjectives

Seem illegitimate

In reference to yourself

Forgive my un-inventiveness

I’m just too impressed

To come up with something else

And a rapturous wave

Travels through me

Sending all my good sense south

I begin to behave

Like a star struck groupie

And the words escape my mouth

You’re the shhhh

I been over it

Never seen another like you in my life

You’re the shhhhh

I been over it

And I wouldn’t swear if I wasn’t right

Lost on me ar-ti-cu-la-tion

Tongue tied with pure a-dor-a-tion

And risk offense with this na-rra-tion

But it’s all because

You’re the shhhh

I been over it

Never seen another like you in my life

You’re the shhhhh

I been over it

And I wouldn’t swear if I wasn’t right

It’s a fit yeah (yeah)

Can I wear this pair out

(can I wear this pair out)

Cancel my trip (my trip)

I’m gonna stay in town a little longer

(stay in town longer)

A little longer (longer)

Than a rebound (bound-bound-bound-bound-bound-bound)

Before is not a word it’s just a sound

After you my past,

Faded into the background

(after you my past faded into the)

My heart don’t beat

It pounds

And I think, I think

My life begins right now (right now)

And I think, I think

My life begins right now (now)

And I think, I think

My life begins right now

And I think, I think

My life begins right now
