[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?
[Post-Chorus]
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
(Wish I could explain)
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?
[Post-Chorus]
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, yeah?
Can I let my mouth do the listening?
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?
[Outro]
I need to convey
Wish I could explain
What I need to say
