Now someone looks at me and asks a question — actual words, out loud, in the light of day. May I take you out? Would you like that? Yes or no, and either one is fine. I learned to answer. I learned to ask back when I can't tell what's yours and what's mine. [Chorus] Hooray for explicit — no symbols, no subtext, no morse code at 2 AM. May I take you out? Yes. No. Done. Hooray for explicit — calmer, clearer, warmer than before. They talk, I listen — that's a kind of closeness too. [Verse 2] Paradox: they'll monologue for ninety minutes, never once ask how I'm doing, not one time. But they're interesting, and I'm too tired to function, so honestly? The format suits me fine. Direct about wanting, deaf about asking — still warmer than the old encrypted mess, that cipher I spent years trying to decode too scared to guess. [Chorus] Hooray for explicit — no symbols, no subtext, no morse code at 2 AM. May I take you out? Yes. No. Done. Hooray for explicit — calmer, clearer, warmer than before. They talk, I listen — that's a kind of closeness too. [Bridge] I don't know if it's a generation thing or just the specific people I've found. But something shifted. Something landed. I finally know what's happening around. [Outro] May I take you out? Yes. May I take you out? No. Either way — I understood the question. Hooray.
