I'm having "top surgery" in Jan 2022, and I'm a whirlwind of nerves, excitement, and impatience. So I channeled all of those emotions into songwriting, and 'Shirtless on the Sofa' was the result. :)
Lyrics:
I'm gonna wake up in pain
Bet you didn't expect that's what I'd say
But I'm gonna wake up on the 24th day of January
And I'm gonna be in pain
So doctor give me that pain med drip
I want whatever makes me trip
So I can think about when the healing's over
I'll run through fields, or maybe skip
My life before will feel a blip
Then I'll be home, lying shirtless on the sofa
I'm gonna wake up that day
And I know exactly what I'll say
I'm gonna look the nurse directly in the eye
And I'll say: "God, that was a weight off my chest!"
And I'll be healing for 6 full weeks
These regulations are a tease
But I'll be careful, designer nipples are expensive
And when I finally see myself: "enchante, quelle surprise!"
I'll get out there, my life will feel like mine to live
I'll have my scars for life
But rather those than live in strife
There is no phrase that fits in quite a similar way
Than if there's no pain, there is no gain
So doctor give me that pain med drip
I want whatever makes me trip
So I can think about when the healing's over
I'll run through fields, or maybe skip
My life before will feel a blip
Then I'll be home, lying shirtless on the sofa
