Words

I could tell you that I loved you from the start

I could tell you that I cut you out of stars

Like you're the flame and I'm a cigarette

Like Clyde and Bonnie, Romeo and Juliette

And we could be a modern Bogart and Bacall

Maybe ours could be the greatest love of all

I could say that I would never criticize you

Never lie when I am looking in your eyes

But that is only words and words and words

Yeah that is only words and words and words

Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way

And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless

I can feel it in each kiss

And it's bigger than bigger than words

So I hope you can feel it

Cause I couldn't conceal it

When it's bigger than bigger than words

I could tell you that I want to be a wife

I'd take a vow, take a bullet, take a life

It's beautiful but compared to how I love ya

It's stale and stupid and it's all been said enough

Cause that is only words and words and words

Yeah that is only words and words and words

Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way

And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless

I can feel it in each kiss

And it's bigger than bigger than words

So I hope you can feel it

Cause I couldn't conceal it

When it's bigger than bigger than words

And words can't feel

And words don't breathe

And words can't tell you what you mean to me

Those three small words are overused

So "more than words" means more than "I love you"

If you're savvy you'll know what I'm trying to say

When I say "I'll settle for 'I love you' anyway"

I could tell you that I cut you out of stars

But it's just a ghost of what I'm feeling in my heart

And that is only words...

Yeah that is only words...

Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way

And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless

I can feel it in each kiss

And it's bigger than bigger than words

So I hope you can feel it

Cause I couldn't conceal it

When it's bigger than bigger than words
