IF YOU CAN HEAR THIS
The words you say are so true
Like the sticker to the car, I'm stuck on you
You're like all that I thought I knew
You can tease me with the littlest clue
We spend such a short time together
Then I saw you on a shirt and in bad weather
You're stuck in my head forever
So deep, always so clever
You are my copilot and I just can't drive it on my own
You can start a long riot, yet still say you love me alone
CHORUS:
If you can hear this
You called out today, I didn't know what to say
If you can read this
You're always so succinct yet make me think....about you
Life before death is true now
That should give you something to do now
To ignore bliss makes you blue now
"Nothing matters" when you are you now
In the darkness I need a headlight
You want me to see that you're right
At least you have put up a small fight
To change my mind--well, I might
Life, goals, and meaning and we're always contravening the truth
And with your eight little words I feel like I did in my youth
BRIDGE:
I didnt want to see you today
You swerved into my way
We were half way to really talking
This was my reward for not walking
