We could talk tonight if you wanted to
I'm just in a place where I can't decide
what I have to say and what isn't mine
but it doesn't mean that I want to hide
We could talk tonight about anything
We don't have to talk, but there's nothing that I
don't trust myself to say to you,
or answer whatever you ask, no lie
Have you ever had nothing to say?
When all that you want
is to find the words
that there aren't?
When nothing that's real
could be this hard
to put into words.
You might as well stop
We can talk tonight, but we don't have to.
Because I don't have a thing that I know
how to say right, now. But maybe I will
if you wanted to, I believe I could.
I just don't know what to say to you
But that doesn't mean I'm not dying to,
No that doesn't mean I'm not dying to.
Have you ever had nothing to say?
When all that you want
is to find the words
that there aren't?
When nothing that's real
could be this hard
to put into words.
You might as well start
telling fairytales
and nursery rhymes
off the top of your head,
for the one you love.
Well maybe nonsense can make parables run
from someplace in your heart
that your head hasn't gone,
and fill it all up
with just enough, to go on?
Of course you don't have to go on.
Of course you don't have the words
to make it make sense, when
it doesn't make sense.
Maybe you just need to tell someone,
even though you've got nothing to say
- they have heard it before?
tell them anyway.
The truth hasn't worn out its welcome yet,
has it? The truth doesn't overstay
The truth doesn't need to be new,
if it's still the truth. So they've
heard it before. So have you.
Tell them one time more what it means to you,
and don't worry about how words make sense.
Trust yourself to say everything true
We can talk tonight, in confidence - even though
I'm not sure who I'm trying to convince
Me or you?
Have you ever had nothing to say?
When all that you want
is to find the words
that there aren't?
When nothing that's real
could be this hard
to put into words.
You might as well start
