I wish I had a way with words

Communicate through song, like birds

Some way I could share my mind

 

I wish that I could understand 

All the seas, the air, the sand

crashing, swelling in my mind

 

All I feel every time I stand next to you

What I feel every time I walk away from you

 

I wish I knew what it all meant

To know what’s what and where it went

And sort out what’s undefined

 

I wish my heart would stay at rest

Not try to jump out of my chest

Can’t catch a breath, I’m out of time

 

All I feel every time I stand next to you

What I feel every time I walk away from you

 

I wish I had a way with words

I wish that I could understand

I wish I knew what it all meant

I wish my heart would stay at rest

 

All I feel every time I stand next to you

What I feel every time I walk away from you

 

I wish I had a tale to tell

That all worked out and came out well

But all my thoughts are misaligned

 

I wish that when I rang your bell

You’d say hello and not farewell

Life moves and I’m left behind

 

All I feel every time I stand next to you

What I feel every time I walk away from you
