Innocence Mission - Every Word I Say lyrics

Every Word I Say

----------------

I've given you my statement

Now my mind feels very spoiled

Now that these thoughts have been spoken

One half of their meaning is gone

Words are in the way

You can't see what I'm feeling at all

Words encompass every color, every shadow, every light

But their passing through my mouth now

And we only see the one side, see the one side

Words are in the way

You can't see what I'm feeling

Words are in the way

You don't know what I'm thinking at all, at all

Tell us would you, in three words, who you are

Give us your opinion of the world at large

Can you explain the names you've given to the things you've done

Give us, please, your definition of true love, true love

Forming syllables

Making phrases

Making paragraphs and pages

I should have seen the words that got away from me

You should have, but you could not

You should have, but you couldn't

Words are in the way

So many things I wanted you to know today

Words are in the way

Pretendings with every word I say

Every word I

Every word I

Every word I Say

Oh, how could you know what I'm thinking
