I could write books in my sleep without thinking too deep I could speak for a hundred days I could explain a concept that you didn’t get And I would do it in one thousand ways
I could write you a poem Shakespeare or Cohen would have called their own
But everything changes now that you’re mine And all of my words are left behind Cause no matter how hard I’ve tried My tongue is still tied by, tied by you
I just wanna tell you I love you It’s the hardest thing to say I turned my head upside down Trying to find some kind of way
Just to tell you I need you In a way that will be heard I try to be a poet But since I met you, I’ve never been good with words
I used to be specific and be explicit Never thought I’d contemplate Do you have any idea what it’s like to feel something You just can’t articulate And now that I’ve heard (?) good enough for you
But everything changes now that you’re mine And all of my words are left behind Cause no matter how hard I’ve tried, My tongue is still tied by you
(chorus)
There’s only so many different ways There’s only so many only(?) shades That I can do So what can I do Tell me what can I do
(chorus x2)
I try to be a poet But since I met you I try to be a poet But since I met you I’ve always been more of a poet But since I met you I’ve never never never never really been so good at words
