lyrics

I can just about handle
The high expectations
Getting ready for self doubt
And fretting about details

There was always the welcome
Pretending and figuring out
No we won’t be the last
No we won’t be the last

High expectations
Every time I hope you’ll say more
High expectations
That I can’t ignore

Don’t shout it too loud
This is what people do
When they find more than value
The space in between me and you

And what about context
The politics of empathy
Descending like a fog
No masquerade no fight no trickery

Feedback in black and white
The benefit of the doubt tonight
A moment to begin again
A prayer that’s answered every now and then
