just what to say

i went through this door

for no other reason than it wasn't open

and sometimes i'm foolish enough to believe encouraging things

but most times i'm cautiously less optimistic

a face in the crowd i wish to be found

i worry so often for those who escape

i wonder out loud i sleep at odd hours

and i write 'cause i never know just what to say

my friends all believe me when i say i'm busy

with pretty big things

i cancel most plans

i hurt someone's feelings

i feel like i'm starting

and just when i'm starting

i'm starting to stray

and every day

i take a white page

and try very hard to know just what to say

just what to say

just what to say

i try very hard to know just what to say

just what to say

just what to say

i've planted some clues that i hope you find easily

things that i find hard to speak clear and true

i think there's a part of you

hoping i'm hoping you feel like i do

and maybe you're listening somewhere you like to be

where you let everything heavy just go

how i'd like to be there

how i'd like to stay

how i'd like to listen

how i'd like to think i'd know just what to say

just what to say

just what to say

i try very hard to know just what to say

just what to say

just what to say

somebody

somebody blocked the door

i know it was me for sure

but somebody knows where i'm hidden away

i try very hard to know just what to say

just what to say

just what to say

i try very hard to know just what to say

just what to say

just what to say

i try very hard to know just what to say

just what to say

just what to say
