Every Word I Say Lyrics - Singles - Innocence Mission

Every Word I Say 

---------------- 

I've given you my statement 

Now my mind feels very spoiled 

Now that these thoughts have been spoken 

One half of their meaning is gone 

Words are in the way 

You can't see what I'm feeling at all 

Words encompass every color, every shadow, every light 

But their passing through my mouth now 

And we only see the one side, see the one side 

Words are in the way 

You can't see what I'm feeling 

Words are in the way 

You don't know what I'm thinking at all, at all 

Tell us would you, in three words, who you are 

Give us your opinion of the world at large 

Can you explain the names you've given to the things you've done 

Give us, please, your definition of true love, true love 

Forming syllables 

Making phrases 

Making paragraphs and pages 

I should have seen the words that got away from me 

You should have, but you could not 

You should have, but you couldn't 

Words are in the way 

So many things I wanted you to know today 

Words are in the way 

Pretendings with every word I say 

Every word I 

Every word I 

Every word I Say 

Oh, how could you know what I'm thinking
