The Weight

I think we spend too much time

Talking around what we need to say

I think there's always been something

Something you've been dying to say

Cuz I've been dying to say this

But the words wont

They won't make their way out of my lips

Won't make the shape I need to ask you

Why don't, why don't we try

Let's try to make what we have real

Cuz I laaaaaaah... Oh I laahhhhh...

Oh I la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaa...

I doooooo.

I can't say it, but I know that I do.

I think you biting your lip hides

Something profound that I wish you'd say

My mind's been racing

My heart's been waiting

It just wants me to say

What we've been hiding away

But the words wont

They won't make their way out of my lips

Won't make the shape I need to ask you

Why don't, why don't we try

Let's try to make what we have real

Cuz I laaaaaaah...

Oh I laahhhhh...

How I la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaa...

I do.

"It's just a word- just a single word!"

Telling myself that telling her

Is not a big thing

More than a word

It changes what she hears- what she's heard

What we are and what we once were

One of these days I'm going to have to take that risk

If I'm going to be the man that she can see herself with

I can feel the weight this word can easily shift

Oh but I want to make it real

Cuz I laaaaaaah...

Oh I laahhhhh...

How I la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaa...

I do.

I can't say it, but I know that I do...
