  • And I just stand there
    It's been a while since I heard my own voice

    I just stand there
    Just before she says that she loves me
    She loves me
    She loves me (how I made you f-)

    I sit with the night in appreciation
    Of this ability to hear a world
    I'm alive
    I'm alive and I can feel it
    (I just want you to say)
    She loves me
    (I just want you to say)

    And I just stand there
    And my one-bed apartment feels like a coliseum
    I feel pretty but in a handsome way
    (I just want you to say)
    She loves me
    (I just want you to say)

    And I just stand there
    And she looks at me like she's taking photos
    I just stood laughing, the full lung capacity
    And the first crunch of potato, cheese, and onion crisps
    I'm wide-eyed at the window
    (I just want you to say)
    And I just stand there
    (I just want you to say)
    And I just

    And we spent sunrise to sundown in my room
    Glued to the window, watching all the people go about their lives
    And we decided their futures for them
    And ugly laughed
    And I remember thinking to myself
    "Don't you dare get used to this"
    "Don't you dare, don't you"
    It felt like all four seasons happened in one day
    And I just stand there laughing at you
    'Cause I can't believe this is real
    And I just stand there
    And I just
    And I just

    I just stand there
    I just stand there
    I just stand there
    She loves me Writer/s: Bridie Monds-Watson, Fred Gibson, Gemma Doherty, James Olaloye, Ori Alboher, Tobias Wincorn
