THE INTERSTATE LIFE lyrics : "I Haven't The Courage to Speak"
The one that I've been waiting for
Oh so many years ago
I've tested many waters
And I swim with many mermaids
But no one can drown me quite like you can though
I try to explain
Nothing comes out
Of my mind of my words
Of my mouth of my heart
It's like I've been locked on you
Like the words on my chest are locked on me
For so many years
Yet I'm grounded by fears...
I'm gonna close my eyes
With my hands open wide
And pray the love of my life
Won't slip away
But if I know someday we
Forever can be
You and me
I'll be okay
But if these words can't make their way to your heart
How can I?
I've been gone
So far
And all I've got is this guitar
And this notepad
(But it's courage I lack) to speak to you
Will I let the one
I live to love
Fade so easily away?
Since there's not much here
Will I disappear
From your memory?
I'm gonna close my eyes
With my hands open wide
And pray the love of my life
Won't slip away
But if I know someday we
Forever can be
You and me
I'll be okay
But if these words can't make their way to your heart
How can I?
This mess
This mess that is me
Couldn't possibly be anything good for you
If you're
Much like me
I'll run so fast to you I'll soar
I'm gonna close my eyes
With my hands open wide
And pray the love of my life
Won't slip away
But if I know someday we
Forever can be
You and me
I'll be okay
But if these words can't make their way to your heart
And if God can't somehow keep us from being apart
And if all this hasn't meant a thing to you so far
How can I?
