Words
Words are better when they're written down
Fall to the page with no sound
Gonna let them sit a while,
-
(alternate) Let them sit, let them stay awhile,
Give them time and distance.
You won't hear the rattle in my voice
Gives it all away with no choice
Time is all I have tonight
I just want to get this right.
Chorus
Your eyes make me humble,
I fall down at your feet.
Pick me up if I stumble
Over words I can not speak.
I can't speak...
And so I'm mining an empty page
For the words that I gotta say
The sun brings another day and here I am still
reaching
I hear the sigh of a morning train
Cuts a path through the falling rain
- (alternate) But
it won't bring you back again
Words I can't explain
But I am in them speaking...
-
(alternate) But here I am still speaking...
Chorus
You say if you doubted me,
That you'd take all that was yours and you'd go
You'd take what you've given me,
If these words don't voice what a heart just knows...
Chorus
I just can't speak...
I just can't speak...
I just can't speak...
Speak...
