Track 2 from my upcoming album, "Happiness" - out 12/13/11
lyrics
You might think that we were married
By the silence in the room
I'm feeling tired, it's been a long day
It's been a long year
I know you're stressed, I'm stressed out too
And there's something you could say to me
That's gonna stop this feeling
There's something you could say to me
That's gonna make it easy again
There's something you could say to me
That's gonna get me talking
There's something you could say to me
And there's something you could say
And so I get a cup of coffee
I walk into the afternoon
I watch the arc and swing of a wrecking ball
Raze a building
It makes me think of me and you
But that's not what I want to do
And there's something I could say to you
That's gonna stop this feeling
There's something I could say to you
That's gonna make you happy again
There's something I could say to you
That's gonna get you talking
There's something I could say to you
And there's something I could say
Every time we fight we're stronger for the pain
And I know how far I searched before I saw your face
I just wish for once somehow I could explain
Why I feel this way, today
There's something you could say to me
That's gonna stop this feeling
There's something you could say to me
That's gonna make us happy again
There's something you could say to me
That's gonna get us talking
There's something you could say to me
And there's something you could say
