3 minute song

i tried to write a song and keep it 3 minutes long

get in get out nobody gets hurt

and i tried a thousand times to fit god between the lines

but i'm finding out that doesn't really work

i just don't have the words to say 'cause words only get in my way

i must apologize i have the hardest time

finding something to define a god that i can't define

and even if i could it would take way too long

if all i've got's a 3 minute song

i've got a hundred metaphors and if i had a million more

i could never ever seem to sum this up

besides how can some melody communicate eternity

it's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup

i never find the words to say 'cause words only get in my way

i must apologize i have the hardest time

finding something to define a god that i can't define

and even if i could it would take way too long

if all i've got's a 3 minute song

i would like to dumb this down to 3 chords or maybe 4

but i've tried and i can't and i won't 'cause there will always be more

so i apologize i can't seem to get it right

i must apologize i have the hardest time

finding something to define a god i just can't define

and even if i could it would take way too long

if all i've got's a 3 minute song

well all i've got's a 3 minute song oh oh oh oh oh oh
