WORDS
Words and Music by Daniel Curzon

Verse #1:
I WAS SAYING JUST YESTERDAY
HOW FUNNY WORDS CAN BE.
SOMETIMES THEY SEEM TO HOVER THERE
AS THOUGH THEY'RE STRANDED IN THE AIR.
THEY CAN LOOK EXTREMELY STRANGE--
SIMPLE WORDS LIKE "YOU" AND "LOVE" AND "CHANGE."

Chorus:
YOU CAN TELL
MY COMMAND OF WORDS
HAS GONE ALL TO HELL.
YET IF YOU LEAN INWARDS
YOU CAN HEAR BETWEEN MY WORDS,
BETWEEN MY WORDS.
NOT YET. NOT YET. OH . . .!
THEY'RE RIGHT ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE.
MAYBE IT'S 'CUZ I'M HIGH-STRUNG.
COULD BE I'M MISSING A GENE.
BUT THEN MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
BUT THEN MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

Verse #2:
I WAS SAYING JUST AN HOUR AGO
HOW SILLY WORDS CAN BE.
SOMETIMES SUCH WEIRD THINGS CAN POP OUT
AND LEAVE EVERYTHING IN DOUBT.
EVER NOTICE HOW--
WHEN THEY WON'T SEEM TO COME--
LITTLE WORDS CAN HAVE YOU FEELING DUMB.

Chorus:
YOU CAN TELL
MY COMMAND OF WORDS
HAS GONE ALL TO HELL.
YET IF YOU LEAN INWARDS
YOU CAN HEAR BETWEEN MY WORDS,
BETWEEN MY WORDS.
NOT YET. NOT YET. OH, LORD!

THEY'RE RIGHT ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE.
MAYBE MY LIPS HAVE GONE NUMB
COULD IT BE TOO MUCH CAFFEINE?
BUT THEN MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
BUT THEN MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

Verse #3:
YOU'LL BE SAYING IN A LITTLE WHILE
HOW PERFECT WORDS CAN BE.
SOMETIMES THEY SEEM TO LINGER ON
AND GET CLEARER WHEN THEY'RE GONE.
EVER NOTICE HOW
THE BEST DON'T SCREAM--INSTEAD
THEY SAY ENOUGH, ALTHOUGH UNSAID.

Chorus:
YOU CAN TELL
MY COMMAND OF WORDS
HAS GONE ALL TO HELL.
YET IF YOU LEAN INWARDS
YOU CAN HEAR BETWEEN MY WORDS,
BETWEEN MY WORDS,
BETWEEN MY WORDS.
IT'S TIME. IT'S TIME. OH, LORD!
THEY'RE RIGHT ON THE TIP OF MY TONGUE.
SOME THINGS JUST HAVE TO BE DONE.
OR DOES THAT REMAIN TO BE SEEN?
BUT THEN MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
BUT THEN MAYBE YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
OH, I HOPE, BABY, NOW YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
