lyrics

4. Words

Take them away
Take away all the words
They mean so many different things
To so many different people
And nobody understands
I get that you think for yourself
But it still seems strange to me
That you don’t feel quite the same
About some things as I do

Bearing in mind
How much we say
With our different faces and voices
Can you imagine what it’s like
For me reading your letter?

How can I understand
Why what I said made you cry?
And every time I tried to explain
It just made it worse
What can I do?
I try; I try to be a good man
And I don’t always fit in
But I think that’s OK
I’m sure that’s OK

I hope; I hope in a few days time
And I know it’s so easy to say
But I hope the tension between us
Will simply fade
