Speak Lyrics - This Side - Nickel Creek

Well I sat down next to a photograph 

Tried my best almost made her laugh 

She was my toughest crown 

There in the way 

Was a mountain up in the clouds 

Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love 

[inaudible] 

Well I can't speak without messing up 

[inaudible] 

Eyes tell of what's behind 

Hers showed the way 

To a long and lonely climb 

But through failure I'll proceed 

She'll see how far I come 

And it's you and me in the sun and sea 

I'll offer my arm to yours 

It seems to me, no mystery 

It isn't 

So I'll try hard to speak 

Da, na, da, da, na, na, da 

Da, na, na, na, na, na, na 

Da, na, na, da, na, na, na, na 

Na 

Ooo 

Well I sat down next to a living hell 

Tried my best until I struck out 

Movement is not mine 

I stood in the way 

Pretending that I was the vine 

But no failure will proceed 

From a mouth that drinks it's wine 

And it's not me 

[inaudible] 

Not my sanctity 

[inaudible] 

These aren't my words to you 

[inaudible] 

It's all clear when it's not from here 

So clear 

So I'll try not to speak
