3 Minute Song

[Verse 1]
I tried to write a song and keep it three minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt
And I tried a thousand times to fit God between the lines
But I'm finding out that doesn't really work

[Pre-Chorus]
I just don't have the words to say 'cause words only get in my way

[Chorus]
I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I can't define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all I've got's a three-minute song

[Verse 2]
I've got a hundred metaphors, and if I had a million more
I could never ever seem to sum this up
Besides, how can some melody communicate eternity?
It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup

[Pre-Chorus]
I never find the words to say 'cause words only get in my way

[Chorus]
I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I can't define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all I've got's a three-minute song

[Bridge]
I would like to dumb this down to three chords or maybe four
But I've tried, and I can't, and I won't 'cause there will always be more
So I apologize, I can't seem to get it right

[Chorus]
I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God I just can't define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all I've got's a three-minute song

[Outro]
Well, all I've got's this three-minute song
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
