Can't Tell

In case you can't tell -
have I made myself clear?
to myself, at least -
but to you my dear
- in case you can't see,
it's been all plain to me.
if you knew, if you knew
how certain this is, or was
or could be -

I would tell you
everything straight,
'cause it's all in my heart
so imperfectly-made, you
could probably cry

in case you can't tell
in case you can't tell, I
can't tell you why

I have tried, any time
we have circled around,
I have jumped in ker-splash
and I'm sorry if that
might have left you soaked.
So you know, so you know
I have tried every time
just to make it all go,
into something that could -

And I would tell you
everything straight,
'cause it's all in my heart
so imperfect and good, you
could probably laugh

in case you can't tell
in case you can't tell, you
would probably ask?

in case you can't tell,
I can't tell you why
in case you can't tell,
you probably can. I know
you don't lie.
Well, maybe there's something you know
that I don't

in case you can't tell,
I could wait until then?
In case you can't tell,
I probably don't know.
in case you can't tell,
I can probably guess,

but I could guess wrong
I don't want to guess

And I would tell you
everything straight,
'cause it's all in my life
so imperfectly blessed, you
would probably know best

in case you can't tell
in case you can't tell,
I can probably guess, but

I don't want to guess.
