[Verse 1] Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear It must just be stress, but I likely shouldn't be here I'm such a mess [Chorus] I never really ever know what to say When I let my emotions get in the way I'm just trying to get us on the same page I always get it better right afterwards When all the wrong impressions are said and heard How come I can never get to the right words? I need to convey, wish I could explain [Verse 2] The things that I have to work out I don't feel right What has come over me I'm about to lose my mind [Chorus] I never really ever know what to say When I let my emotions get in the way I'm just trying to get us on the same page I always get it better right afterwards When all the wrong impressions are said and heard How come I can never get to the right words? I need to convey, wish I could explain [Bridge] Can I let the trees do the talking? Can I let the ground do the walking? Can I let the sky fill what's missing in? Can I let my mouth do the listening? [Chorus] I never really ever know what to say When I let my emotions get in the way I'm just trying to get us on the same page I always get it better right afterwards When all the wrong impressions are said and heard How come I can never get to the right words? I need to convey, wish I could explain What I need to say
