Things Lyrics

Everything I say to you
Seems to come out all wrong
So I′ll stop speaking sentences
Instead I'll sing a song
And the sound of my voice singing
Might soothe that thing in you
That can′t believe the words I speak
Or what I say is true

There's no way to convince someone
Who won't be brought around
By talking, it′s a noise you see
While singing′s more a sound
So when I say I love you
That's just a thing I say
Off my tongue
Out of my mouth
Made up in my head

But when I sing I love you
That′s a different thing
Nothing smart, just some guts and heart
Since I mean what I sing
When I sing I do something
It's not a thing I try
So it sounds believable
I cannot sing a lie

This song′s almost over
It's short, I′m almost through
I'm sorry for some sentences
I said when I told you
One says stuff to anyone
But you are another thing
And if this feels familiar
It's because of thee I sing
