Dealership - Two Turns

An armor of self-assured esteem
Impervious to things that aren't
Logical and true
Like one and one is two
I try to pierce it open to talk to you
But I don't have much to say

Two turns of the
twist ties on my
loud mouth and I'm
persuaded to hide
and understate...
Ignore the bait.
You might decline
and I'd fall on my face.

You laugh at my resistance to your pleas
Keep telling me that words don't always
bounce when rubber's glue
and when one and one ain't two
You've told me all your problems
Now solve them too
'Cause you're better at this game.

I'm trying to tell you how I feel but
you know it's hard to say
So maybe I'll just play and
You'll listen and recognize the tune
'Cause I sang it in your ear
It's sappy but sincere
and true

I told you that I was so mature
You laughed then and you'll laugh even
more when you see me
As I stutter, fumbling
over words
overused
understood
misconstrued
please give me lines to say...

well would you?
