[Verse 1]
Would it upset you
If the one goal that I could see to is to beat you?
Impress you?
I've had it planned
And the first step required me to stop being a hand on your watch
A thin black limb ripped off
I haven't told you about the past five years of my life, have I?
I can only tell you through lyrical clues
You tell me yours through pa**ive Post-Its on my door
And when you sleepwalk and snore
Paternal matador
[Chorus]
I made you something
I made you something that fits
I made you one thing
I made you one thing, this is it
[Verse 2]
I can't sum up those frustrated moments in the basement
Begging me to get pissed, to raise my little fists
To leave a trail of fallen football players in my wake
I was twelve then, fresh from eleven
I can't explain how surprised I was to see where you worked
Far from heroic, rife with "Somebody's got to do it"
Stoicism, cicatrix
You were living out of boxes and emotional bottles
And nobody there cared
Matching monitor glares
[Chorus]
I made you something
I made you something that fits
I made you one thing
I made you one thing, this is it
I hope you wear it on the sleeve of your shadowtime suit
I hope you wear it on the sleeve of your shadowtime suit
If not, then this
[Bridge]
I was fifteen
I felt six
And you were just my height
It was cold
It was nude cold
And you spoke like you were typing while talking
My mouth filled with snow
I wept on my mother's pillow
I vowed, "I do not get mad
I do not get mad
I do not get mad
I do not get angry, angry
I do not get mad
I do not get mad
I get even, get even
And I get even, get even
I love you regardless
I get even, get even, get even"
[Chorus]
I made you something
I made you something that fits
I made you one thing
I made you one thing, this is it
I hope you wear it on the sleeve of your shadowtime suit
I hope you wear it on the sleeve of your shadowtime suit
I love you regardless
But I hope you wear it on the sleeve of your shadowtime suit
I hope you wear it on the sleeve of your shadowtime suit
I love you regardless
