Nickel Creek

Speak

Nickel Creek


Well I sat down next to a photograph 
Tried my best almost made her laugh 
She was my toughest crowd 
There in the way was a moutain up in the clouds 
Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love 
I can't speak without messing up 
Eye's tell of what's behind 
And hers showed the way to a long and lonely climb 
But through failure I'll proceed 
And she'll see how far I've come 

[Chorus]
And it's you and me in the sun and sea 
I'll offer my arms to yours 
It seems to me, no mystery 
Well it isn't 
So I'll try hard to speak 

Well I sat down next to a living hell 
Tried my best until I struck out 
Movement is not mine 
I stood in the way pretending that I was the vine 
But no failure will proceed from a mouth that drinks it's wine 

[Chorus]
And it's not me 
Not my sanctity 
These aren't my words to you 
It's all clear when it's not from here 
So clear 
So I'll try not to speak
