some things just can't be said
I stand there staring while the rain keeps falling,
Falling inside of me.
You stand there caring trying to stop stalling,
Stalling so we can be free.
And as you gaze you turn every page,
Every page in your head.
But no matter how many of those pages you go through,
You find some things just can’t be said.
We’d done it all, been everywhere,
Talked till the clock ran down.
We’d found the end of a rainbow’s tail,
And followed it into the ground.
We’d been to Alexandria, read every book,
Put every one of those books to bed.
But no matter how many of those books you go through,
You find some things just can’t be said.
We know each other as good as you can
Ever know anyone.
We know the directions to pull the strings
To reach the house of sad or of fun.
There’s times when words just don’t do it.
It’s not a time to dread.
You just throw all the words out of the window,
And use your heart instead.
Diamonds can buy allegiance, clubs can vanquish the strong,
Spades can dig a moat around you to keep away what is wrong.
But when you put them down on paper,
You realize they are only words.
That’s when you know that what you’re looking for
Is not something that can be heard.
So just throw all the words out of the window.
Some things just can’t be said.
You’ll find the answer you’re looking for
If you use your heart instead
