Giftmouth

[Verse 1]
Would you play a part if there were
Any parts that were worth playing?
I smile a lot
But not when you're looking
I don't want this clock to stop in the dark
Adaptation only works when it's hard
For a year and a day
God left me this way, I fell apart
A lot like Abelard
I am old enough to know things never change
Still I ask, "Do you want to?" anyway

[Chorus]
Everything has come out
Can you use a giftmouth?
I don't think there's a doubt
You could use a giftmouth

[Verse 2]
I would steal some words if there were
Any words that were worth stealing
You talk a lot
A gift that keeps giving
Don’t you know this funny look that’s on my face?
It’s almost like the gaze that saves
For a life and a day
God made me this way, it’s what I’ve got
Like it or not
I am old enough to know what marriage means
A little potpourri and pants with the pleats

[Chorus]
Everything has come out
Can you use a giftmouth?
I don’t think there’s a doubt
You could use a giftmouth

[Chorus]
Everything has come out
Can you use a giftmouth?
I don’t think there’s a doubt
You could use a giftmouth
