WORDS CAN'T SAY
[Intro]
I typed three words, erased all three
The room knew more than me
[Verse 1]
A cup went cold beside the phone
Your name lit up, I let it go
I knew the where, I knew the when
I could not make it sound like then
So I played one chord, then one more
The air changed shape across the floor
No proof, no speech, no perfect phrase
Just what my mouth could never place
[Chorus]
Words can't say what music does
One note can open what we shut
I tried to tell you, lost my way
The song went where words can't say
Hold that chord, don't make it neat
Let the crack stay in the beat
If I can't give the feeling shape
The song can go where words can't say
[Verse 2]
At closing time the chairs go up
One old song stops a man mid-step
He smiles once, then looks away
The room does not ask him to explain
Across the hall, a baby cries
A low hum brings the volume down
Before we learn to name a thing
We seem to know what comfort sings
Words can't say what music does
The song can go where words can't say
[Bridge]
Maybe the song does not know more
Maybe it just leaves the door
Wide enough for joy and grief
To sit there without picking sides
[Verse 3]
Back at the phone, the cursor blinks
Three little words, then none again
I leave the message where it lies
I press one song and let it play
No speech to win, no case to make
Just four slow chords and room to ache
[Chorus]
Words can't say what music does
One note can open what we shut
I stopped explaining, pressed play
The song went where words can't say
Hold that chord, don't make it neat
Let the crack stay in the beat
No final answer, no display
Just what we could not name that day
Loop
Words can't say what music does.
One note can open what we shut.
I tried to tell you, lost my way.
The song went where words can't say.
Hold that chord, don't make it neat.
Let the crack stay in the beat.
If I can't give the feeling shape.
The song can go where words can't say.
