Friendly Persuasions: I. Wanda Landowska

de Jake Heggie

If I cut hair once, would it make me a barber?
If you went for lunch with your co-worker, and it was just filled with laughter
Would you turn to a cheater?
I don't know why you're looking at me for
I don't know you, so I don't know either
I'm just tryna make you think, I'm just tryna pull some levers
So if I say simple things that will make you think, would you think I'm the best?
Nah, what if I re-arrange it in a way that hits, and I say it with chest?
What if I say things backwards, backwards things say I, shit it didn't make sense
But I tried like most the decisions I made in my life
But I think I'm beginning to fly

Getting there (getting there)
The question marks are everywhere
Oh, lord
Getting there, yea (aah)
Lord, am I getting there?
Question marks are everywhere (everywhere)
But I'm getting there (oh)
Lord, am I getting

If I broke the rhyme, would you keep on listening?
I just did, what now?
That sounded shit, let me bring it back 'round
But if I rhyme every syllable
Maybe they'll think I'm the lyrical miracle
Spiritual medicinal criminal in the bits
That sounded sick, but I didn't mean it, I mean this
What if I told you straight that I'm gonna write hits
Would you get with the program?
Would you think that I'm actually valid
Or think that I'm just a delusional joke, man?
Would you think I'm a talentless kid
With a heart too big, and a mouth too loud?
Or would you think I'm the hardest out?
I'll leave you with that question while I'm-
Etting there (getting there)
The question marks are everywhere
Oh, lord
Getting there, yea (aah)
Lord, am I getting there?
Question marks are everywhere (everywhere)
But I'm getting there (oh)
Lord, am I getting there?
