What Baking Can Do

Make it work
 Make it easy
 Make it clever, craft it into pieces
 Make it sweet
 Crimp the edges
 Or make it sour and serve with lemon wedges
 Even doubt
 Can be delicious
 And it washes off of all the dirty dishes
 When it's done
 I can smile
 It's on someone else's plate for a while
 I'll place it on display
 And then I'll slice and serve my worries away
 I can fix this
 I can twist it into sugar, butter-covered pieces
 Never mind what's underneath it
 I have done it before
 I'll bake me a door to help me get through
 I learned that from you
 Mama, it's amazing what baking can do
 Make it up
 And surprise them
 Tell them all my secrets, but disguise them
 So they dance on the tongues
 Of the very people that they're secrets from
 Make it soon
 Make it better
 Though, better never lasts forever
 I'll make it small so it fits
 Even this
 Even now
 Even as the walls come tumbling down
 Even as I can't stop remembering how
 Every door we ever made, we never once walked out
 (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
 Something I never got the chance to ask her about
 
 So with flour on my hands
 I'll show them all how
 Goddamn happy I am
 Sugar, butter, flour
 Don't let me down!
 Let's see the next amazing thing baking does now
