Switch My Voice

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to talk too fast Like I was running late Same old words in my mouth Same old face on the plate You said, "Try it another way" So I leaned into the frame Took the scratch out my tone And I wore a new name [Pre-Chorus] Now I hold it slow Let it land, let it show One breath, then I go And you know, you know [Chorus] Switch my voice Make it new, make it new Switch my voice When I say your name to you I can bend, I can break I can sound like the night Switch my voice And it feels so right (so right) [Verse 2] I kept a hard edge on Like a coat in the rain But the mirror kept asking Why you carrying that pain? So I softened the vowels Let the truth come through Now every little line Sounds more like me and you [Pre-Chorus] Now I hold it slow Let it land, let it show One breath, then I go And you know, you know [Chorus] Switch my voice Make it new, make it new Switch my voice When I say your name to you I can bend, I can break I can sound like the night Switch my voice And it feels so right (so right) [Bridge] If I go too high Pull me back down low If I lose my way Baby, let it show I don't need the same old skin I don't need the same old script Just call me in a different way And watch the whole thing lift [Chorus] Switch my voice Make it new, make it new Switch my voice When I say your name to you I can bend, I can break I can sound like the night Switch my voice And it feels so right (so right)
