Excuse To Try

the words she means are those she doesn't say

so slowly running out of things to say

she was not afraid to ring a bell or two

there's no one who can tell her how to feel

I just wish that I could help her out

but I'm part of the problem it turns out

she was not afraid to ring a bell or two

and I'm part of the problem it turns out

I noticed she thinks I have figured it all out

surely I get by

but know this: I'm confidently pretending

but that's hard when you don't have

an excuse to try

the words she means are those she doesn't say

so slowly running out of things to say

she was not afraid to ring a bell or two

she was not afraid to ring a bell or two

I'm part of the problem it turns out

we're almost halfway there

still getting you nowhere

wrap it in a cloud

to figure this out
