about

The cute little voice at the very end singing along with me is my son, Auron "Doo" Schonert, age 8. When he heard the first scratch track of this song he told me it was his new favorite song. Given that the song is about how I often talk way too much (I guess I've got a lot to say), and I was taking it from multiple perspectives and times in my life, I realized that a kid's voice would be perfect. I posed the idea to him and he immediately said yes. I asked him which chorus he liked the best. I sang it first and then coached him as he sang along. I think it's perfectly imperfect and love that he keeps coming in and out of the last held notes.

lyrics

I know you just home
You're still in your coat
You've barely gotten out
Of the flakes and the weather
I'm shutting off my filter

I want to tell you what I'm thinking
I want to tell you I like waffles more than pancakes
I want to tell you my nose it itching
I want to tell you everything

I guess I've got a lot to say
You were gone
I've bottled it up
And I've saved it all for you
I'm shutting off my filter

I want to tell you what I'm thinking
I want to tell that I binge-watched Frasier
I want to tell you that my evening's free
I want to tell you everything

Sorry
Not sorry
Grab a glass and sit down
Sorry
Not sorry
I'm not stopping 'til I've told you everything

I want to tell you what I'm thinking
I want to tell you that I beat my high score
I want to tell you what I've been reading
I want to tell you everything

I want to tell you what I'm thinking
I want to tell you that I missed you madly
I want to tell you what you've been missing
I want to tell you
I want to tell you everything

Everything... everything... everything... (etc)

I want to tell you everything

I want to tell you what I'm thinking
I want to tell you that I beat my high score
I want to tell you what I've been reading
I want to tell you everything
