## Lyrics

**Verse**

There's a word on a letter on the kitchen bench  
And I have read it about a hundred times  
And you are under the table with the lid off the pens  
Drawing all over the back of my hand  


**Chorus**

And you're still you  
You were you before the word  
The word is a key to the help that you need  
It is not the name of who you are  


**Verse**

I was frightened at ten and relieved by eleven  
And I could not tell you which one was true  
And the lady just said, love, most people get both  
And she went and put the kettle on  


**Chorus**

And you're still you  
You were you before the word  
The word is a key to the help that you need  
It is not the name of who you are  


**Verse**

So I'll fold up the letter and put it away  
In the drawer with the cords and the tape  
And I'll get down on the floor where the real thing is  
And I'll play with the person you are  


**Chorus**

And you're still you  
You were you before the word  
The word is a key to the help that you need  
It is not the name of who you are  


**Outro**

Still you  
You were you before the word
