Lyrics From Live Performance

[Verse 1: Julien Baker & Matthew Gilliam]
Lonely middle children
In the shadow of the taller buildings
Ran into each other in
The elevator
Going the same way
Each a different floor to fix their broken
Arms and legs

[Verse 2: Julien Baker]
The generous position
Is to make revisions to our history
It’s not only natural, it’s expected
But I wanna get it right
Over dinner while you tell me how your parents met
The rapid cell division
Force at work in fractions of an inch
That landed me here
And not in the desert
At the instant
When I set my heart on you

[Chorus: Julien Baker]
So I press the question
Up against your temples now
Can you bear to be alone?
Or is it not that simple? How
Could you read the future, would you
Change your answer, baby, or would you still
Stick it out with me?
[Verse 3: Julien Baker]
I think the decision
That I made would be different
If I had been operating out of love
But I was moving out of fear

[Chorus: Julien Baker]
So I press the question harder
Up against your temples now
Can you bear to be alone?
Or is it not that simple how
If you could see the future, would you
Change your answer, or could you still
Stick it out with me?
