lyrics

LOSS FOR WORDS

If you're not scared, you're an idiot
True love is just survival

We make conversatino with our lips
But we don't even make a sound
'Cause sometimes words can only complicate
You change the subject just in time
So articulate
I'm at a loss for words 'cause

Each time I clutch at some romantic expression
It always comes out so contrived
This is my feeble attempt at humble confession
That you're the reason I survived

No split infinitives, no no
No double negatives
And every clause is insubordinate
You change the subject just in time
So articulate
Looks like it's time to debate

I don't speak Russian or Mandarian
But we've got our Esperanto
And there's no need to ever translate
We could be speaking in tongues so get a blanket
I'm at a loss for words

I always tell myself it just doesn't matter
It's okay to use the old cliche
I'll never do justice to it
You'll just have to trust us to the rest

So sad that you're going insane
It's a sign of a healthy brain
A tall glass of water
And the neighbor's daughter
Will help you through the rain
