Every time I say what′s on my mind

It never really seems to come out right

Sometimes I just feel like stayin' quietIn the night

Well, you would be the perfect one to ask

So tell me if I′m losin' all my class

Sometimes I just feel like running back

To the night

I don't know how to tell you something

But I do know that it won′t be easy

I′m headed in the right direction

Just tell me what to say

Just tell me what to say (ay)

Thinkin' to myself, what is the time?

And surely I could wait until it′s right

Sometimes it just feels like fight or flight

In the night

I don't know how to tell you something

But I do know that it won′t be easy

I'm headed in the right direction

Just tell me what to say

Just tell me what to say (ay)

How did I mess this up?

I could be going out of my mind

Tried to just be myself

Tried but I just couldn′t back it up

I'll back it up now, yeah

Back it up now

I'll back it up now, yeah

Back it up now

Don′t know how to tell you something

But I do know that it won′t be easy

I'm headed in the right direction

Just tell me what to say

Just tell me what to say (ay)

How did I mess this up?

I could be going out of my mind

Tried to just be myself

Tried but I just couldn′t back it up
