Words

Words like, "Hey, nice to meet you"

Got us walking down the street to grab a drink

And words like, "Tell me 'bout your family"

Got us falling, got us landing in a tree

Oh, and words took us all the way from kissin'

In a parkin' lot to missin' everything we used to be

Say the words and I'll be gone

Turn our perfect lines into another sad song

I won't keep you here, keep holding on

To what we were

Just say the words

Words, well, they sure are confusin'

Like when we started using them, just bullets in a fight

Oh, and words like, "Did you ever love me?"

Well, they pushed you and they shoved me to the edge of goodbye

Just say the words and I'll be gone

Turn our perfect lines to another sad song

I won't keep you here, keep holding on

To what we were

Just say the words

Like bitter poison drippin' off your tongue

Pull the thread and watch the story come undone

Just say the words and I'll be gone

Turn our perfect lines to another sad song

I won't keep you here, keep holding on

To what we were

Just say the words

Maybe words like, "I'm sorry and I need you"

Would have been enough to keep you

From walking out

Is it too late to say 'em now?
