lyrics

Fumbling around for the lightswitch
in a dark room we thought we knew.
The furniture's all been moved.
Hanging around all tight-lipped
so the words don't slip, the meanings never fit
and I can't say what I'm trying to say.

You try to say and I try to say
what we can't articulate.
The greatest things I am convinced
cannot be said.
But I know, one day, I know
we will open up our throats, and it won't
it won't come out messed up anymore.

Dragging our feet, trying to back track
at the front door.
Staring hard at the floor.
Something obvious for us to ignore

Because when our fingers finally find the switch
everything looks different now
than we remember it did.
And we can put the lamp back where it was,
push the couch over the stain on the rug
but it won't change what we're sitting above.

You try to say and I try to say...

One day for sure.
So here we sit afraid to admit everything has shifted
One day for sure.
So here we sit.
I know, one day, I know
we will open up our throats, and it won't
it won't come out messed up anymore.
