lyrics

"Renting You Space" (by Tamiko Rothhorn)

I'm moving slow, pour the milk in a bowl,
And wiping the sleep from my eyes.
My memory finds a scent of you in coffee grinds,
And already, I have realized...

That you're renting space inside my mind.
Wish I could erase the rumination.
But even so, I don’t know if I'm ready to ask you to go,
Despite the trouble I’ve found with you sticking around all the time.

In the space in my mind,
The space in my mind.
Why am I still renting you space
Space in my mind?

Caught my ride, flat phone by my side,
Looking through the windows and the screens.
Pictures flashing by, and it’s you behind my eyes.
And once again, I realize (realize)

That you're renting space inside my mind.
Wish I could erase, the rumination.
But even so, I don’t know if I'm ready to ask you to go,
Despite the trouble I’ve found with you sticking around all the time.

In the space in my mind.
The space in my mind.
Why am I still renting you space...
Space in my mind?

At my desk alone, no one else can hear the drone
That's landed with a whir between my ears.
Your voice and pitch and roll and yaw keep droning on (and on and on)
Your earworm's song is echoing (echoing)

That you're renting space inside my mind.
Wish I could erase, the rumination.
But even so, I don’t know if I'm ready to ask you to go,
Despite the trouble I’ve found with you sticking around all the time.

In the space in my mind.
The space in my mind.
Why am I still renting you space...
Why am I still renting you space...
Why am I still renting you space...
Space in my mind?
