Nonpronto - Song I Couldn't Write lyrics

The song I couldn't write today Had lyrics that I couldn't say And chords my hands just wouldn't play But it would have been for you You're my muse and inspiration And that song it was a dedication But something got lost in translation It didn't make it through With lyrics sweeter than your eyes And chords like laughter, harmonized A rhythm like the lullabies that mothers sing at night I'm writing you the song I couldn't write The melody has drifted past It came and went away so fast I called out to it, It just laughed And it whistled right along But years from now when it comes around I'll wrestle it and I'll tie it down And force it to reveal its sound What a pretty little song Right now, I think that's it out- the song that I've been hunting for I'm back on the ground, my feet have been found; picking the the words off the floor I'll call you up out of the blue I'll say its me, and you'll say ‘who?' And on the phone I'll sing to you You'll hear the whole thing through I'm singing you the song I couldn't write
