"Now As Then" lyrics

I am exceptional
I am an exception
I am the exception
That's for me, that's also for me
I am a contradiction
I am fascinating
Not enough, too much, tell me I'm special
They might look like me but they don't know

Man, I wanna take you home
Oh the relaxation I feel here
Oh the relaxation I feel 'most everywhere
Except the places I don't go
Except the places I don't go

Oh, don't trust me
That I won't take all the money and run
Don't trust me
That I won't take take all the money and run
Oh, I'm just a shell of myself
I might just take all the money and run
I don't wanna be a woman
If it's permission, like it's permission

Now as then
I know then as now, oh
Now as then
I know then as now, oh
I know I'm not to be trusted

She had this thing with her shoulders
Couldn't sleep on either side
Face up to the ceiling, nowhere to hide
Oh, she has this thing with her shoulders
Can't sleep on either side
Face up to the ceiling nowhere to hide
Oh she is speaking to me, speaking right to me now
Speaking right to me, speaking my language
It's all in my language, a universal language, and I am loved, I am loved
I am loved in every single tongue

Oh, don't trust me
That I won't take all the money and run
Don't trust me
That I won't take take all the money and run
Now I'm blank, I'm drawing a blank
I might just take all the money and run
I don't wanna be a woman
If it means not being here now

Now as then
I know then as now, oh
Now as then
I know then as now, oh
Now as then
I know then as now, oh
Now as then, oh
I know I'm not to be trusted

Now, now, now, now, oh
Now, now, oh what if I don't feel it
Now, now, now, now
Now as then
Then as now
