Putting it off 'til tomorrow
Trying to talk but you ain't got time
Drowning me out with the bottle
Bury your head 'til you can't see right
I had to let you know
I left a message for you on your answer phone
Oh, but you never called
I wrote a letter for
You left it by your door
Why does this have to be so difficult?
How can it feel and be so strong?
How can a heart beat for so long?
How can the birds make so much sense with their song, their song?
If I can see stars from outer space
And even the lost can find their way
How do my words get stuck between you and my tongue?
Perfectly lost in translation
Looking at me with that stone-cold face
Maybe I've got the wrong station
Or a frequency that doesn't resonate
I had to let you know
I left a message for you on your answer phone
Oh, but you never called
I wrote a letter for
You left it by your door
Why does this have to be so difficult?
How can it feel and be so strong?
How can a heart beat for so long?
How can the birds make so much sense with their song, their song?
If I can see stars from outer space
And even the lost can find their way
How do my words get stuck between you and my tongue, my tongue?
♪
If you didn't get it, ooh, when I said it
Read my lips, oh darling
If you didn't get it, ooh, when I said it
Then read my lips, oh darling
If you didn't get it, ooh, when I said it
Read my lips
How can it feel and be so strong?
How can a heart beat for so long?
How can the birds make so much sense with their song, their song?
If I can see stars from outer space
And even the lost can find their way
How do my words get stuck between you and my tongue, my tongue?
