Words

I want to tell you so badly
I want to whisper in your ear
I want to scream it from the canyons
But the words won't come through clear

I've never been so taken over
I've never been so terrified
I've never been one to daydream
But I get lost inside your eyes

I could be your black and white
When your colors won't come out just right
If only I had the right words to say
I could be your perfect day
We'll curl up close when the skies are grey
If only I had the right words to say

I don't need much more than I have
But I'd give you anything
I don't care much for numbers
But I love the way you think

A pale moonlight writes headlines
As we talk about our lives
I want to hear all your secrets
I never want to say goodnight

I could be your light-toed frame
To lead around on the heavy days
If only I had the right words to say
I could be your greatest fall
We'll tumble down right through the squalls
If only I had the right words to say

If she's the wind I'm the trees
Back and forth in her summer breeze

I could be your glass of wine
To calm the waves of a busy mind

If only I had the right words to say
If I could tell you just one thing
The last breaths of a dying king
If suddenly I had the words to say
I'd tell you that no words could ever say
