What Can I Say?
Basketballs are pounding on the leaves again
Dancing through the jukes of all my driveway friends
Days are ending much too soon
And here I am sending you
My last words of the year
Soon my snowy thoughts will lie in silent drifts
Permafrost mutations that would bore you stiff
And it'll the end of May
Before I find a turn of phrase
Worth sending to your ear
Oh oh oh
I know I grow quiet
Oh oh oh
I don't know why
But I know the day is gonna come
When the cat will get my tongue
You only hear what I don't say
But I don't mean it anyway
Twist my arm and pull my leg
There's a song stuck in my head
Cross my eyes when we're apart
Stick a needle in my heart
What can I say?
What can I say?
Then the ground will thaw and spring is in the air
And I'll have no excuse for why i'm standing there
With nothing to say for myself
My tongue gathers dust on the shelf
And can't articulate
But when the days are buzzing with the blue and green
And I'm honey-hum about you 'cause I'm full of bees
I don't wanna have to erase
Words that don't know their place
Or carry their own weight
Oh oh oh
I know I grow quiet
Oh oh oh
I don't know why
But I know the day is gonna come
When the cat will get my tongue
You only hear what I don't say
But I don't mean it anyway
Twist my arm and pull my leg
Get this song out of my head
Cross my eyes when we're apart
Stick a needle in heart
What can I say?
What can I say?
Dancing through the jukes of all my driveway friends
Days are ending much too soon
And here I am sending you
My last words of the year
Soon my snowy thoughts will lie in silent drifts
Permafrost mutations that would bore you stiff
And it'll the end of May
Before I find a turn of phrase
Worth sending to your ear
Oh oh oh
I know I grow quiet
Oh oh oh
I don't know why
But I know the day is gonna come
When the cat will get my tongue
You only hear what I don't say
But I don't mean it anyway
Twist my arm and pull my leg
There's a song stuck in my head
Cross my eyes when we're apart
Stick a needle in my heart
What can I say?
What can I say?
Then the ground will thaw and spring is in the air
And I'll have no excuse for why i'm standing there
With nothing to say for myself
My tongue gathers dust on the shelf
And can't articulate
But when the days are buzzing with the blue and green
And I'm honey-hum about you 'cause I'm full of bees
I don't wanna have to erase
Words that don't know their place
Or carry their own weight
Oh oh oh
I know I grow quiet
Oh oh oh
I don't know why
But I know the day is gonna come
When the cat will get my tongue
You only hear what I don't say
But I don't mean it anyway
Twist my arm and pull my leg
Get this song out of my head
Cross my eyes when we're apart
Stick a needle in heart
What can I say?
What can I say?
