0:20Please excuse me I'm not thinking clear
0:27It must just be stress
0:30I most likely shouldn't be here
0:37I'm such a mess
0:40I never really ever know what to say
0:42When all of my emotions get in the way
0:45I'm just trying to get us on the same page
0:50I always get a fight in it afterwards
0:51When all of my precautions are said and heard
0:55How come I can never get to the right words
0:58I need to convey
1:02Wish I could explain
1:09The things that I have to work out
1:17I don't feel right
1:20What has come over me I'm about
1:27To lose my mind
1:30I never really ever know what to say
1:32When all of my emotions get in the way
1:34I'm just trying to get us on the same page
1:39I always get a fight in it afterwards
1:42When all of my precautions are said and heard
1:45How come I can never get to the right words
1:47I need to convey
1:58Wish I could explain
2:02Can't I let the trees do the talking
2:15Can't I let the ground do the walking
2:20Can't I let the sky fill what's missing
2:25And can't I let my mouth do the listening
2:33I never really ever know what to say
2:42All of my emotions get in the way
2:44I'm just trying to get us on the same page
2:49I always get a fight in it afterwards
2:52When all of my precautions are said and heard
2:54How come I can never get to the right words
2:58Need to convey
3:00Wish I could explain
3:17What I need to say
Please excuse me I'm not thinking clear It must just be stress I most likely shouldn't be here I'm such a mess I never really ever know what to say When all of my emotions get in the way I'm just trying to get us on the same page I always get a fight in it afterwards When all of my precautions are said and heard How come I can never get to the right words I need to convey Wish I could explain 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 I never really ever know what to say When all of my emotions get in the way I'm just trying to get us on the same page I always get a fight in it afterwards When all of my precautions are said and heard How come I can never get to the right words I need to convey Wish I could explain Can't I let the trees do the talking Can't I let the ground do the walking Can't I let the sky fill what's missing And can't I let my mouth do the listening I never really ever know what to say All of my emotions get in the way I'm just trying to get us on the same page I always get a fight in it afterwards When all of my precautions are said and heard How come I can never get to the right words Need to convey Wish I could explain What I need to say
