Words

I want to tell you so badly
 I want to whisper in your ear
 I want to scream it from the canyons
 But the words won't come through clear
 I've never been so taken over
 I've never been so terrified
 I've never been one to daydream
 But I get lost inside your eyes
 I could be your black and white
 When your colors won't come out just right
 If only I had the right words to say
 I could be your perfect day
 We'll curl up close when the skies are grey
 If only I had the right words to say
 I don't need much more than I have
 But I'd give you anything
 I don't care much for numbers
 But I love the way you think
 A pale moonlight writes headlines
 As we talk about our lives
 I want to hear all your secrets
 I never want to say goodnight
 I could be your light-toed frame
 To lead around on the heavy days
 If only I had the right words to say
 I could be your greatest fall
 We'll tumble down right through the squalls
 If only I had the right words to say
 If she's the wind I'm the trees
 Back and forth in her summer breeze
 I could be your glass of wine
 To calm the waves of a busy mind
 If only I had the right words to say
 If I could tell you just one thing
 The last breaths of a dying king
 If suddenly I had the words to say
 I'd tell you that no words could ever say
