Can’t Explain (4/9/2006)

I try to breathe
And take you in
Steps misguided
As I fall within
I can’t believe
How time has gone
So quickly
Yet we deny this bond

I can’t explain this
And I can’t make it clear
I can’t erase the past, now
Cause I can’t disappear
Does this make me selfish?
I guess that’s how it seems
Cause everytime I stumble
You are out of reach

I fail to speak
The silence wins
I lose my bearing
On this life we’re in
The words you say
Dance around my soul
There’s peace in knowing
That you make me whole

But I can’t explain this
And I can’t make it clear
I can’t erase the past, now
Cause I can’t disappear
Does this make me selfish?
I guess that’s how it seems
Cause everytime I stumble
You are out of reach

You’re out of reach
I’m low on faith
I just want to tell you
You make me feel okay
But when I speak
The bitter taste
I watch this silence
And I clench my hate

I can’t explain this
And I can’t make it clear
I can’t erase the past, now
I want to disappear
Does this make me selfish?
I guess that’s how it seems
Cause everytime I stumble
I fall into my dreams

Notes: I know, I know, it’s a bit weak. I’m just not that great at writing songs. Anyway, this is an acoustic ballad that gets a little heavier in the chorus and bridge. I don’t want to let details ruin your interpretation, but it’s about wishing you could tell someone something, but never really knowing how to say it.
