for the time being, I'm being patient

One of my favourite lyrics ever:

And you can use my skin..
to bury secrets in..

Especially the way she sings it. Oh Fiona, you're so good. I eagerly await your new album!

EDIT: What the hell: .

So be it, I'm your crowbar
(If that's what I am so far)
Until you get out of this mess

And I will pretend
That I dont know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know

And you can use my skin
To bury your secrets in
And I will settle you down

And at my own suggestion,
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
I'll know, I'll know

Baby-I can't help you out, while she's still around

So for the time being, I'm being patient
And amidst this bitterness
If you'll consider this-
even if it dont make sense
All the time (give it time)

And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you've early closed your curtains,
I'll wait by the backstage door

While you try to find the lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore

And if it gets too late, for me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me so

It's ok, dont need to say it..

really deep thoughts, fiona apple, they said it better
