lyrics

I had something to say
I had a speech prepared
It all fell apart
when my eyes met your stare
It was really important
It had dashes of profundity
It had an air of sadness
It gave an ultimatum, what was to
be if this
ship would not
sail could we
swim back to
isles lush and
green live as
apes, king and
queen I think
this is a duel that's never gonna end, and
this is the time that we'll never spend, then
this is a scandal, what do your folks know
what's the scenario, how high does this go

I had something to say
I had the words just right
It had allusions to Chaucer
It took all night
One of us has to say it
This jalopy's running on fumes
Our time alive is finite
I don't want you to resent me, you have to
choose where we
land, land or
sea, see this
through, through the
mist, missed the
chance now my
tongue's in my
teeth when you
look back on this will you say I was boring
Was this avenue really worth exploring?
What's a few years worth? I feel unsteady
We used to laugh so much, I miss it already

I had something to say
