Strum
D-DU-UDU
Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear
It must just be stress
But I likely shouldn't be here
I'm such a mess
I never really ever know what to say
When all of my emotions get in the way
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
I always get it better right afterward
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
How come I can never get the right words?
I need to convey-ey-ey-ey -ey-ey-ey -ey
Wish I could explain
The things that I have to work out
I don't feel right
What has come over me, I'm about to lose my mind
I never really ever know what to say
When all of my emotions get in the way
I'm just trying to get us on the same page
I always get it better right afterward
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard
How come I can never get the right words?
I need to convey -ey-ey-ey -ey-ey-ey -ey
Wish I could explain ai-ai-ai -ai-ai-ai -ain
Can I let the trees do the talking?
Can I let the ground do the walking?
Can I let the sky fill whats missing in?
Can I let my mouth do the listening?
The listening
