An Ode To Spotify

Spotify I just wanted to say thank you You get me I mean sure not everyday, I still don’t know why You still refuse to play my favorite John Mayer song When I really need it That one day The treacherous day when his lips ripped me open There was a song for the hole as deep as the Tenerife Sea Inside me. You stitch me up with your borrowed Lyrics and chords, A half-rest away from silence. The moments when everything seems Bland even The dew on the pomegranate tree and somehow The Arizona sun is muted You give me the color I’m missing You turn it all Yellow When I’m desperate for company And I set fire to the welcome mat reserved for Silence you Show me everything's got a little kindness and even Walls Could Talk When I’m drowning in my own loss, And I can’t help falling You give me soft enough water to sink in And tuck me away in Wastelands no one Notices When I’m high on laughter on Him, you Say who the hell am I to be selfish With my smile Remind me I don’t need much just a Little Skinny Love to Keep me going at night Dry the tears on my pillowcase Its midnight and I’m Inches from him and He’s Just Giving Me a Reason To lean forward Spotify Thank you
