Just What to Say

Album: Crooked Shadows (2017)

  • I went through this door
    For no other reason
    That 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
    Oh, 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 blocks 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 Writer/s: Armon Cheek, Christopher Andrew Carrabba
