Words

Words are better when they're written down
They fall to the page with no sound
And if you let them sit awhile
Give them time and distance
She won't hear the rattle in your voice
That gives a fool away with no choice
Time is all you have tonight
Take the time and get this right

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 fighting an empty page
For the words I've got to say
The sun brings another day and here I am still reaching
I hear the sound of a morning train
I watch it waking you up again
These things I can't explain
But here I am still speaking

Your eyes make me humble
See, I fall down at your feet
Pick me up if I stumble
Over words I can not speak
I just can't speak

And you say if you doubted me
You would take all that was yours and just go
So take what you've given me
If these words don't voice what a heart just knowsâ?¦

Your eyes make me humble
See, I fall down at your feet
Pick me up if I stumble
Over words I can not speak
I just can't speakâ?¦

Speak
