about

An excerpt from things we won't say which we must.

lyrics

Look at all the things you made.
Do you hear the things they say about you?
Do you hear us all stammering on between what we mean
and what's safe to say?
But what else can we do but keep trying,
trying to paint a picture.

But am I taking too long creating your picture and making it a song,
when I don't even care if it's all wrong?

Anyway I have to try.
Anyway it's how I am don't ask me why.
I don't want to have to think that hard this time.
I know what I have to say.
This time can't we just pretend we're standing eye to eye?

Because maybe you were asking too much,
or maybe I was, your hand, one touch,
without the floor between.
Here we are, without the floor between.
Can't we just pretend?

Look at all the things you made.
Some to toss and some to save.
But how do you choose?
When you make the rules, you save them all,
hearts, minds, and spirits big and small.
So whether or not it's true,
that's my picture of you.

But have I waited too long?
Or maybe you did.
Hey it's just a song, what do I know?
I'm only one
of all the things that you made.
