It seems some things have changed
Everything got rearranged
The pronouns just get in the way
Of all the things that are left to say
You said that being you
Was the hardest thing to do
And all the things we know
Must go
You said you're under the gun
And always on the run
From a life that was so benign
You said it hardly felt like it was ever mine
I watch as you take the plunge
I watch these years as they come undone
It's like you're born again
Looking at life from the outside in
You said that being you
Was the hardest thing to do
And all the things we know
Must go
I wait for you to mend
And try to comprehend
The science of who you are
Or the silence you've known so far
It seems that being you
Was the easiest thing you could ever do
All I thought I knew
Is through
