Three and one-half minutes
It really isn't long
To explain how I feel and why I've felt it so long
So, in short, what's the point?
As the music goes on
And still I can't find the words to sing in this song
How can the way that my heart feels
Come out through my mouth?
How can one and a half years
Come out through this pen?
I tried to write a song about us
But I didn't know where to begin or end
Pretend that this is your favorite song
Gagging, I'm choking down the past
To regurgitate a few rhyming words to put to music
This lump in my throat is turning me blue
These cold lips can't speak
When it comes to speaking of you
Put to words 600 days of life and make it rhyme
Cuz that is what they wanted to hear
Put to words 600 ways to make you mine
Cuz that is what you wanted to hear
So tell me
How can the way that my heart feels
Come out through my mouth?
How can one and a half years
Come out through this pen?
I tried to write a song about us
But I didn't know where to begin or end
Pretend that this is your favorite song
Swallowed my pride
If I swallowed my eyes, I could see the way I feel
And feel the words I write
Swallowed my pride
If I swallowed my eyes, I could see the way I feel
And feel the words I write
Put to words 600 days of life and make it rhyme
Cuz that is what they wanted to hear
Put to words 600 ways to make you mine
I spill my guts every time
Three and one-half minutes
It's just not enough time to explain how I feel
And how you've changed my life
I tried to write a song about us
So often I've tried
And still, I can't find the words to bring you to life
How can the way that my heart feels
Come out through my mouth?
How can one and a half years
Come out through this pen?
I tried to write a song about us
But I didn't know where to begin or end
Pretend that this is your favorite song
This is your favorite song
