The Words and the Phrases

from Cleaning Out My Closet by Reuben Walton

/

about

This is a song I wrote on guitar during my sophomore year at UMass Lowell, inspired by my social difficulties and social anxieties that seemed to be exacerbated by marijuana use. I actually left in a mic check vocal in this.

lyrics

You freak me out
I don’t know how to read you
My mind’s reeling around
I wanna know how to read you

The words
and the phrases
the looks
and the faces
The words
and the phrases
the way
that you say things

I’m someone you speak to daily
still I can’t tell you this not even maybe
the actors on the stage, they know my life
little insinuations of what I would say
that I will never say in real life
just an ordinary fantasy of mine

And what did I escape from?
And what was I escaping,
from what was I thinking?
If I could go back a year and a month ago
I never would have
indulged so much
you get one chance
and I blew it

The words
and the phrases
the looks
and the faces
The words
and the phrases
the way
that you say things
