"What I'm Trying To Say" You look so good in the clothes of a poser And when you smiled all the kids fell apart here I know a place where it's warm and it's dry, dear Let me take you there North of the river all the streets are the same We can pretend that they don't know our name And the heat is turned all the way to full So don't pretend that you don't feel the pull I am trying to say What I want to say Without having to say "I love you" You look so good in the shoes of an outcast I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last But then I knew you, I knew you, I knew you I really knew you We fell apart in the parties of the empty heart We danced the junkies in the shadows of bad modern art We clicked our heels and we wished we were home One more tab and your silk hits the chrome I am trying to say What I want to say Without having to say "I love you" I am trying to say What I want to say Without having to say "I love you" Springs comes in when I'm rolling up another one I draw the curtains in the glare of the same old sun We are collapsed in the act of just being here Three blues, two greens and a beer... We are collapsed in the act of just being here Three blues, two greens and a beer... I am trying to say What I want to say Without having to say "I love you" I am trying to say What I want to say Without having to say "I love you"
