(Music and Lyrics: Kylie Buddin and Sam Mullins)

I’d like to buy a vowel
How about a silent “e”
At the end of the love you promised me
You’re playing a scrabble game
Where an “I” is worth a hundred times a “U”
But I guess that’s nothing new.

Word games, crossword puzzles.
Occupy your day
My name can’t be found
In any of those word games that you play

You won the spelling bee
In nearly every grade
There’s not a verb that you can’t conjugate
I’m looking for a seven letter word for you
It starts with an “a” and ends with “e”
It’s a part of the human anatomy.

aeiou

Do I have to spell it out
To write a note in the margins of a newspaper
I’m L-E-A-V-I-N-G
