lyrics

It took twenty-six years to learn this language; I thought I had it all laid out, but then you had to go and let your hair down. So, I decided to scrap the project or at least the hope that it somehow could explain the way I feel right now.

You smile at me and I turn away: “Was it something that I said?”

“It gets to the point that I that I can say is: “bop-bop-ba-da-da-da, I love you.” Three words, eight letters never get it right; I guess this song will have to suffice. bop-bop-ba-da-da-da,I love you.”

I could learn these words and syntax;I could learn these nouns and where to put them at, but I don’t think that I could ever do it better than: “When you laugh I see our unborn children dancing in your eyes.” And “It’s no surprise that I can’t get you off my mind.”
