"Aaron" lyrics

Your mother wanted to name you Aaron, but her body built you as a different man
And, my friend, if you want me to, I'll call you Aaron
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, Aaron, I can

You sing your song with your back turned to me, your body's shaking, voice certain still
And if closing my eyes will help you turn around, Aaron
I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will, I will, Aaron, I will

Your father wanted to take you shopping for something to wear on his wedding day
And when I saw you standing there with your shirt tucked in, well
I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved
I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved
I caved, I caved, I caved, I caved, Aaron, I caved

And the water's warm but it still stings to your shins when you are wading in
And it's worth the swim, I feel so weightless
Rid of our bodies, come and float with me

You live your life with your back turned to me, your body's swaying, voice steady in stance
And if shutting my mouth will help you turn around, Aaron
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, I can, I can, I can, I can
I can, I can, Aaron, I can
