Words

Words
Why can't I ever find the words
That clarify all my ideas
In all my songs that hinge upon

Words
They're always on the tips of tongues
They lie and cheat and poke some fun
While I keep searching for the right one

Chorus
Words keep getting by me
Words behind me
Words beguile me
Words, words, words defy me

Words
Can be so very hard to say
Yet chatter all my thoughts away
And they can cage or they can... 

Free
Up all the thoughts inside my head
Just wish I understood what's said
So I could take them back instead

Chorus 2

Words keep getting by me
Words can bind me
Words terrify me
Words, words, words define me

Words
I need a few more for this song
Another verse and then I'm done
I don't know what I'm saying

Damn words
They never help me see the light
They make me toss and turn all night
And then they never come out just quite right...
