For a Song to Mean a Thing

For a song to mean a thing
Please forget about yourself
Please forget about the healing or the pain
And let the song may ever find its place

For a song to mean a thing
Please don't call her home by night
Don't say you love her if you don't
Don't wipe her tears if you ain't crying while she cries

For a song to mean a thing
Try to picture your smile on a frame
But don't try to tame it, it won't belong to you

For a song to mean a thing
Stay this quiet like me and maybe I'll be up to sing it to you like:

One song was a piece of my heart
One song was the shape of your smile
One song was last night
When you told me, "could you live in my eyes?"
One song was better not telling
One song was a matter of time

But a song can save a life

For a song to mean a thing
Love me, but leave me, like that
And I will spend my life just thinking
That if I write the song you're missing you'll be back

This was the song to bring you back

For a song to mean a thing,
I was telling myself I was homesick
Fuck I should know it
That home is when I'm with you

For a song to mean a thing
I'll stay this quiet like this so maybe I'll be up to sing you like:

Come, and lay all your harm on me
Though you know I ain't got much to give
A song should be always complete

One song was a piece of my heart
One song was the shape of your smile
One song was the last night
When you told me, "could you live in my eyes?"
One song was better not telling
One song was a matter of time
Ooh...

One song was a piece of my heart
One song was our shape of your smile
One song was the last night
When you told me, "could you live in my eyes?"
One song was better not telling
One song was a matter of time
Mmm oh
But a song can save a life
But a song can save a life
